In this context, your main missions are to plan, conduct, and document audit missions according to the defined methodology. You identify and analyze risks and you evaluate the internal control system implemented by the HUG to limit them.

You write relevant, clear, and succinct audit reports with recommendations that provide added value, and then you ensure follow-up on the recommendations issued.

You regularly inform the Director of the DAI on the progress of your activities and the important facts observed. You present reports and findings clearly and succinctly to the Director of the DAI as well as to the heads of the audited areas.

Furthermore, you are an internal reference person for any question, information, or documentation related to institutional procedures and directives as well as the cantonal or federal legal framework.

Finally, you contribute to the simplification of internal processes by asserting collective intelligence.

You have a marked interest in the field of hospital management within a university hospital and wish to participate directly in the continuous improvement of patient care and quality of care.

You have higher professional and/or academic training, such as a Master in Economic Sciences, a diploma in chartered accountancy, or a recognized equivalent diploma.

You benefit from a minimum of 5 years of experience in the field of financial risk audit or in a related analysis and control function (e.g., purchasing, suppliers, accounting audits, invoicing, calls for tender, logistics, or real estate management) during which you have conducted audit missions with full autonomy. CIA (Certified Internal Auditor) and/or CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) certifications are prerequisites. Skills in the fields of cybersecurity, information systems governance, and data protection, as well as experience in audits of IT projects, digital transformations, and the continuity of critical systems and operational resilience, are assets.

You possess a great capacity to manage stress and meet tight deadlines, while ensuring quality services.

Your excellent ability to work in a team allows you to collaborate closely with auditors and health professionals.

A dynamic and methodical person, you demonstrate an analytical and synthetic spirit to face complex and constantly evolving situations. Organization, rigor, and attention to detail are essential skills to succeed in the audit missions and other activities entrusted to you. Your interpersonal skills and power of persuasion facilitate the interactions you have with the various services of the institution. You are able to manage several tasks simultaneously (priority management, prioritization of requests, flexibility).

The Direction of internal audit (https://www.hug.ch/service-audit-controle-interne)(DAI) fulfills two categories of missions: assurance missions (audit missions) and consulting missions.

As part of its assurance missions, the Direction of internal audit provides the Audit Committee with an audit report including an objective evaluation of an entity, a process, a system, or other areas with a view to formulating an opinion or conclusions. It brings added value to the Institution by taking into account strategy, objectives, and risks, proposes ways to improve governance, risk management, and control processes, and provides objective and relevant assurance. The scope and nature of the execution of the work are determined by this department.

Consulting missions aim to improve the functioning of the HUG.
