Internal Auditor Cover Letter Example

Dear Head of Recruitment,

As a qualified auditor with over 4 years of risk-based internal audit experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently an Internal Auditor at LEMYX Consultancy, where I have overseen audits for ~75 reinsurance clients. My work is wide-ranging, from reporting and providing advice on risk management, analysing internal control and assurance systems, establishing effective mitigating controls and process documentation, to leading incident investigations. Some highlights include:

• gained strategic advisor rather than watchdog status for London HQ of global company by highlighting quality improvements, designing and implementing roadmap, and demonstrably improving quality processes
• led investigation into financial irregularities of Company A prior to merger with Company B; Company B backed out of acquisition and avoided £27m liability

My work has been recognised by several Employee of the Month awards, an Employee of the Year award, and the Victor Z. Brink Award for Distinguished Service from the Institute of Internal Auditors. In addition to my professional experience and recognition, I hold a Bachelor of Finance and am both ACA and AAT qualified.

Please find attached my resume for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Bryan Simpson
