Audit Manager Case Study

“It’s the variety of my job that I enjoy the most. And in the twenty years I’ve been with Skipton, in various roles, I’ve benefitted from exposure to every part of the organisation. In fact, it’s the sheer diversity of the group that brings the biggest challenges. You have to keep up to speed with developments in the business to ensure our audit work is focused on the right areas.

“The people in my team make coming to work a real pleasure too. Everyone is so friendly and approachable, which makes for a positive and cooperative working environment. And we’re all actively encouraged to undertake professional development, primarily through skills and knowledge based training courses. These are so useful when taking advantage of the excellent opportunities for promotion the business offers.

“While you don't necessarily need experience in the financial services sector to do the job, communication skills and the ability to engage with colleagues at all levels really are key. An enquiring mind and good organisational skills are also important, as is the confidence to challenge existing ways of doing things. After all, we’re a business that thrives on fresh thinking.”
