M-KOPA Solar Jobs. Internal Audit Senior. Executing operational audits, evaluating internal controls, assessing risks, and tracking remediation plans, requiring an Accounting/Finance Degree, CPA/CIA, and 4+ years experience. Job Purpose You will lead individual internal audit engagements end-to-end across M-KOPA’s operating markets (Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa), reporting to the Head of Internal Audit & Risk. This is an execution and delivery role: you own audits from planning through to reporting and follow-up, contribute directly to the annual audit plan, and present findings to management with the judgement and rigour expected of a seasoned, hands-on auditor. ### Key Responsibilities Audit Execution - Lead assigned audits from start to finish — planning and scoping, fieldwork/testing, documentation, reporting, and follow-up — in line with IIA standards and internal methodology. - Independently manage engagement timelines, evidence quality, and working paper standards without close supervision. - Identify root causes (not just symptoms), assess risk impact accurately, and develop practical, actionable recommendations. - Apply data analytics and audit management tooling to strengthen coverage and efficiency across engagements. Reporting & Stakeholder Management - Present audit findings directly to process owners and management, defending conclusions and negotiating realistic, risk-appropriate remediation actions. - Prepare clear, well-evidenced audit reports for review by the Head of Internal Audit & Risk. - Build credible working relationships with process owners and country teams to enable efficient fieldwork and honest engagement. Audit Planning - Contribute to the development of the annual risk-based audit plan, including scoping proposed engagements and estimating resourcing. - Flag emerging risks identified during fieldwork for inclusion in future audit cycles or escalation to the Head of Internal Audit & Risk. Follow-Up & Continuous Improvement - Track closure of agreed management actions, escalating overdue or inadequately remediated items. - Support development of audit methodology, templates, and standards as the function matures. - Mentor and provide on-the-job guidance to junior audit team members where applicable. Organisation Structure Reports to Head of Internal Audit & Risk Experience, Skills & Qualifications Education - Degree in a business-related field, IT, Business Information Systems, or a related technical/business field from a recognised university. - Professional certification required: one of Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), or ACCA (or equivalent, e.g. CPA). - Additional certifications (e.g. CISM) are an added advantage. Experience - Minimum of 7+ years’ audit experience, including prior experience at a Big Four (or equivalent top-tier external audit) firm — this is a requirement of the role, not merely an advantage. - Demonstrated track record of leading audits independently from planning through to reporting and follow-up, ideally spanning both business process and technology-related audits. Skills - Strong technical audit execution skills — testing design, sampling, evidence evaluation, and root-cause analysis. - Confident, articulate communicator able to present and defend findings to management under scrutiny. - Sound working knowledge of risk management principles and control frameworks. - Strong personal organisation — able to manage multiple concurrent engagements and deadlines with minimal supervision. - Ability to maintain the highest levels of integrity, confidentiality, and objectivity. - Comfortable operating across multiple markets and cultures, with willingness to travel. ### How to Apply Click here to apply ## Apply Use the canonical Prime Job Alerts page for full application instructions and source verification.
