Employer:       
 
Audit Scotland is Scotland’s public sector auditor, independent of government. We employ more than 340 talented professionals who know that their work helps ensure the efficient delivery of public services in Scotland. We believe that public money (around £57 billion a year) should be spent wisely. There's plenty of change ahead, and the need for robust public audit that provides assurance about public spending and helps public services improve is more important than ever. We want to make sure Scotland makes the very best of the opportunities and that change is delivered well – transparent financial reporting and delivering value for money are key to this.
 
Environment:
 
Our people are vital to our continued success and as a Trainee Auditor, you will help contribute to delivering quality and relevant audit work across a variety of clients and, in doing so, you will add real value to the development and scoping of audit plans. We offer a flexible working environment of home and office working as well as some travel to client sites.
 
What might a day in this role look like?
 
Over the duration of the programme, you will likely work within a number of different teams on a range of audits across the public sector, including local and central government and the NHS. This will see you work across the organisation in both financial audit and performance and best value audit.
