Position Summary 

ADWSO is collecting CVs for the position of Internal Auditor in anticipation of an upcoming project for which a proposal is currently under review. The selected candidate will be offered a contract upon project approval.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct comprehensive internal audits of ADWSO's financial records, transactions, and programme expenditures in line with donor requirements and organizational policies.

  • Verify compliance with donor agreements (UNICEF, UNDP, UNODC, WFP, and others), Afghan NGO law, and ADWSO's internal policies and procedures. 

  • Examine procurement, payroll, asset management, and cash disbursement processes for irregularities or control of weaknesses. 

  • Conduct field-level audits across ADWSO's operational regions to verify programme delivery and expenditure accuracy. 

  • Prepare detailed audit reports with findings, risk ratings, and actionable recommendations for senior management. 

  • Follow up on prior audit recommendations and track implementation progress.

  • Promote a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement across ADWSO's operations.
