Auditor
Finance & Accounting Officer (in an organisation)
An Auditor's main task is to assess company accounts, its organisation and processes, checking and guaranteeing their reliability. They evaluate company performance. They make recommendations and suggest action plans to optimise operations or management. They may work as internal auditors within a company or as external auditors for a specialist audit firm.
Tasks
They analyse the company they work for: its characteristics, history, organisation and decision-making processes.
They collect all information necessary for an audit (invoices, bank statements, etc.) to verify the regulatory and legal compliance of the systems in place in the company.
