A useful starting point
Show the audits, the standards, and a finding that changed a control. Two pages. Skip “attention to detail” as a personality. Skip this if you have only prepared packs for auditors — that is an accountant CV.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
Evidence to consider
- Internal or external
- Standards (ISA, IIA)
- Sectors
- A control improvement
