Junior Officer, Audit and Investigations (OIAI Trainee)

About the OIAI Graduate Roles for the Ukraine and Impacted Countries Response:

IFRC is delivering a complex, multi-country, operation in Ukraine and the surrounding countries, to meet urgent humanitarian need. It is one the largest operations managed by IFRC.

Effective assurance is critical to ensuring trust and accountability, which are at the heart of IFRC’s Strategy 2030. To support IFRC’s operations in Ukraine and the impacted countries, an assurance team comprising audit and investigations services has been embedded in the response.

Based in IFRC’s Regional Office for Europe (Budapest), with regular field travel (around 30%), the OIAI Graduate will support the delivery of audit and investigations services, including, internal audits, fraud investigations, sexual misconduct investigations, oversight of cash programme spot-checks, and capacity building for National Societies in the region, under the guidance of OIAI’s Senior Auditor for the Ukraine and Impacted Countries Response.

As an OIAI Graduate, you’ll work as part of a team of problem solvers, helping to resolve complex humanitarian risk and integrity issues facing the IFRC and the Ukraine and Impacted Countries Response. As an OIAI graduate you will be expected to:

• Learn about how OIAI works and how we add value to IFRC and our National Society membership.
• Learn about the humanitarian sector, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and our approach to supporting affected populations.
• Think broadly and ask questions about data, facts, and other information.
• Use tools, techniques and our standard methodologies to support research, analysis, and problem solving.
• Produce high quality work that adheres to international professional standards for audit and investigation standards – supported by professional training and qualification.
• Keep up to date with key risk and integrity developments across the region and the humanitarian sector.
• Communicate confidently in a clear, concise, and articulate manner – verbally and in written form.
• Build effective working relationships with OIAI team members, and staff across the IFRC and our National Society membership.
• Embrace diverse perspectives and welcome opposing and conflicting ideas.
• Role model ethical behaviour and inspire others to act with integrity.
• Complete formal professional training and qualification in either audit or investigations.
