Global Assurance is part of Plan International’s governance framework and was established to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve Plan International’s operations. It helps Plan accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes

The role of the GA Senior is to conduct assurance engagements or other reviews at the regional or global level to provide management and the international board with assurance that key systems, programs, processes, policies, and controls are working as expected. The role also includes acting as a team member on various projects or products to implement the GA strategy as agreed upon with the GA Director or GA Managers. Additionally, the role supports the GA Manager in strengthening the second line at the Country offices and acts as a consultant with management teams at the country and regional level about relevant practices in governance, risk, and control of the organisation.  The role builds upon audit principles but requires a combination of problem-solving, process improvement, and systems thinking to reduce risk and enhance the performance of the organisation.
