In recent years, the Desjardins Group Monitoring Office has been working on a shift to update its #InternalAudit role. The goal is to become a leader in monitoring by putting innovation, agility and advisory services to work for members and clients, the public and regulatory authorities governing #Desjardins. Our ability to create trusted partnerships and nurture talent will be key to achieving this.

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a dynamic team, do rewarding work, develop a comprehensive understanding of the organization and have an impact on strategic priorities.

Among other tasks, the Insurance and Wealth Management Monitoring Administrative Department is responsible for carrying out strategic and operational internal audit mandates across Canada in life and health insurance and property and casualty insurance.

The person selected will contribute to planning and executing work on complex files in the life and health and/or property and casualty insurance sectors. They will be required to provide assurance on audited processes and advise partners on how to optimize their processes. They will present opinions to audit committees and to partners on operational control and progress toward organizational objectives. The nature of the files requires a good knowledge of the insurance business and the management of related risks.

As an internal auditor on the insurance side, you\'ll need to take a step back to evaluate how processes are managed, assess best practices and identify areas to improve. Your role includes providing the organization with assurance on operational control, verifying measures implemented by Desjardins Group to carry out the strategic plan (including client experience) and thereby helping create added value for the organization.
