Internal Audit evaluates the firm's processes, governance, risk management and controls and identifies where they need to be strengthened to avoid unwanted surprises.
Our whole-firm view gives us great insight into how our company is run on every level. We consistently check that UBS has the right frameworks and controls in place to avoid unexpected significant losses or damage to the firm’s reputation. We act independently and report only to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. Our team plays an important role in ensuring the firm consistently meets its high standards. Our work enables senior management to really understand how risks are being managed so they can make informed decisions about our future direction.
Working for UBS Group Internal Audit has allowed me to see very diverse parts of our international organization and meet fellow colleagues and business stakeholders from all around the globe, who inspire and support me in reaching my professional goals. There are not many places within the bank where junior people get such exposure to firm's senior management and where one could experience a little bit of everything, for instance, what it means to be a client advisor of the super-rich or what are the risks of funding a tailored aircraft. I enjoy the variety and complexity of topics I get to work with on a daily basis and am glad to contribute to the overall success of our company.
