Internal Audit Expert

Within the BMW Group, Corporate Audit reviews the areas of Sales and Financial Services, as well as Finance and Human Resources, among other topics. Our focus is on audits of Financial Services and Sales entities in the U.K. and Ireland, Rolls-Royce and other functions in the U.K. market. Corporate Audit is thus strengthening governance, compliance, risk management and the internal control system, providing transparency and helping to manage risks in the BMW Group and seize opportunities.

• In addition to the UK, Corporate Audit is present at various locations worldwide (e.g. Germany, USA, China, Singapore, Italy). Audit projects are sometimes carried out by teams across locations.
