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.

You have a higher professional and/or academic education, such as a Master in Economic Sciences, a chartered accounting diploma, 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 independently conducted audit missions. CIA (Certified Internal Auditor) and/or CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) certification are pre-requisites. Skills in the fields of cybersecurity, information systems governance, and data protection, as well as experience in auditing IT projects, digital transformations, and the continuity of critical systems and operational resilience, are assets.

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

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

A dynamic and methodical person, you demonstrate an analytical and synthesis spirit to face complex and constantly evolving situations.

As part of its assurance missions, the Direction de l’audit interne 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 work execution are determined by this department.

Advisory missions aim to improve the functioning of the HUG.
