Global bank Citi recently announced plans to hire more than 100 employees to join its global internal audit function. The new auditors will be hired at offices in Jacksonville and Wilmington, Del. as the newest strategic locations for the internal audit function in the United States.
The open roles will beef up the bank’s existing internal audit function of more than 2,000 professionals. The bank says the roles will, “offer prospective candidates the opportunity to gain valuable experience as part of a global team and develop critical career-building skillsets.”
Citi said it chose Jacksonville and Wilmington to leverage and build upon its existing presence, infrastructure, and capabilities, and to attract the professional resources available in both cities. Citi internal audit’s other locations in North America include New York, Tampa, Irving and Mississauga, Canada, which opened earlier this year.
“This is a very exciting time for Citi Internal Audit, which serves a vital role in ensuring safe and sound operations as we continue to meet the growing needs of our global business,” said Jessica Roos, Chief Auditor of Citi. “We look forward to bringing talented, diverse and solutions-oriented individuals on board to join our team, who will become trusted partners to our businesses across Citi and help deliver on our work to foster a best-in-class risk and controls environment.”
Citi’s internal audit function is a global organization of more than 2,000 professionals that provide coverage across the company’s global businesses and products. The team provides independent assessments of the company’s governance, risk management and internal controls, and regularly reports to key stakeholders including Citi’s senior management and regulators globally.
The time-frame for the new hires was unclear at the time of publication.
