About Our Team
Our Group Audit and Assurance (GA&A) team are the internal audit function for the Group.
Their primary purpose is to provide independent and objective assurance of the effectiveness of the Groups risk management, controls, and governance processes.
As digital technology disrupts and transforms entire industries and ways of working, GA&A is committed to keeping pace and continually reimagining themselves with the latest global best technology and innovation.
Evolving customer expectations and pace of change require GA&A to support the business with new insights and risk coverage that puts customers first and continues to provide insightful assurance to the Board.
GA&A has increasingly embedded digital assurance into audit activities, injecting Artificial Intelligence (AI) into routine control testing and using digital tools to improve the overall experience for employees.
