Job Details
About the role
Our established Fraud Risk Services team have a vacancy for a senior consultant to join our growing southern team. Our ideal candidate would be an experienced counter fraud professional who can turn their passion for countering fraud into an informative and interesting training session, who can use their attention to detail to review our clients processes and identify potential weaknesses, and are as comfortable researching information as they are delivering a report to the Chief Finance Officer of a £1bn organisation.
About the company and department
RSM’s Fraud Risk Services team provide a range of counter fraud services to public and private sector clients. Our work entails undertaking fraud risk assessments, reviewing processes and policies to test their robustness and effectiveness, training staff to recognise fraud, undertaking proactive exercises to find fraud (proactive work) and undertaking investigations into allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption (reactive work).
More about the job
The Senior Consultant plays a key role in delivering both proactive and reactive assignments. You will be the main client contact in delivery of work streams as part of agreed work programmes and individual assignments.
You will be expected to maintain our high level of service and values, taking responsibility for ensuring timely delivery of client work plans, and other additional duties that may be required. This will include having commercial acumen to deliver work on time, to quality and cost.
You will undertake proactive fraud assignments and investigations of relevant fraud cases, have regular client meetings as required, deliver training, review policies, and may be required to attend Audit Committees. Additional projects and assignments, as lead or part of a team may be necessary. We encourage our staff to embed themselves within our client’s teams so there will be travel to and from client sites within the region required as part of the role and as a result, we require a degree of flexibility from you.
Some limited National or International travel may be available depending on assignments, but these will always be with approval and pre-planned.
If not already held you will be required to attain the Accredited Counter Fraud Specialist (ACFS) qualification. Training and support for this examination will be provided.
We are keen to support and develop our staff so you will have personal objectives, a career development plan and individual performance targets to achieve as part of your role, which will be subject to periodic review and feedback via your line manager.
You will also be required to undergo enhanced DBS and propriety clearance at appointment and during the employment.
About the ideal candidate
The ideal candidate will be someone with a fraud related degree or experience working in a fraud related field, or an auditor who is looking to move over to counter fraud, who is seeking a career working with a wide range of varied clients and assignments. You will be comfortable delivering fraud prevention programmes, presenting fraud risk training and awareness, undertaking fraud detection exercises and supporting clients who experience fraud instances, requiring investigative skills in compliance with criminal, disciplinary and regulatory legislation, or be willing to learn these tasks.
You will be able to work alone or unsupervised, or as part of a team of varying sizes (subject to project or assignment). This is a client facing role where you will act as an ambassador for RSM as a trusted professional fraud advisor.
You will be looking to develop yourself, learn new skills and take on bigger challenges, as we look to grow and develop our client services.
