## About Internal Audit at Goldman Sachs

Our Internal Audit function serves as the third line of defense, independently assessing the firm's internal control structure, governance processes, risk management frameworks, and anti-financial crime measures. We raise awareness of control risk and monitor how management implements control measures across the organization. Goldman Sachs Internal Audit brings together chartered accountants, developers, risk management professionals, cybersecurity experts, and data scientists, organized into global teams of business and technology auditors covering all firm businesses and functions—from global banking and markets to asset and wealth management, cyber-security, and technology risk.

## What We're Looking For

We seek individuals with strong risk and control mindsets who possess analytical skills and professional skepticism. You should be able to challenge and discuss risks and control measures effectively with management. We value people who enjoy learning about audit, business, and functions, who bring innovative and creative approaches to enhance audit processes, build relationships, and thrive in a fast-paced global environment.

## The Role: Asset & Wealth Management Technology Audit

Asset & Wealth Management covers the firm's Wealth Management, Public and Private Asset Management businesses. As a Technology Auditor, you'll provide assurance on the integrity and quality of data used for portfolio construction and management, deal workflows, investment research flows, regulatory reporting, application stability, system operations, and general technology controls.

As part of the third line of defense, you'll independently assess the firm's overall control environment and communicate results to local and global management regarding the effectiveness of controls that mitigate current and emerging risks. You'll monitor management's implementation of control measures, supporting the firm's Audit Committee, Board of Directors, and Risk Committee in fulfilling their oversight responsibilities.

Reporting to an experienced project manager, you'll be involved in all phases of assigned reviews. You'll assist or lead risk assessment, scoping, and planning activities.

You'll evaluate the design and effectiveness of technology controls by designing and executing tests to validate identified system control features. This work may require data analysis, code inspection, and re-performance of system processes. You'll document test results within the Internal Audit workflow application according to departmental guidelines, assist in or lead the vetting of audit observations, and track, monitor, and record the remediation of identified risks.

Data analysis skills using tools such as SQL or ACL are required. You should understand application security principles, the system development lifecycle (SDLC), management and monitoring of technology (backups, change management, system monitoring, incident/problem management), business continuity planning, disaster recovery design and implementation, and security within the software development lifecycle.

The ability to review code in object-oriented programming languages such as Java, C++, or Python is necessary.
