Internal Auditor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook In my current role I’ve helped tighten control frameworks across financial reporting and tax planning, which meant users could trust the numbers with less month end churn. At [Previous Company] I led a small team through a critical year end where we cut discrepancies by 40 percent after validating data feeds from the core ERP. I believe that practical, practical steps matter most when audits uncover risk. Skills alignment I work across auditing, budgeting and risk assessment with a focus on clear methodologies and practical outcomes. I’ve implemented process redesign and cost control measures that align with governance requirements and statutory reporting. I’m comfortable with computerised accounting systems, data interpretation and preparing financial statements, and I’m used to outlining audit objectives and designing the approach to tests. Evidence story Last year we audited a debt and equity project that spanned three regions. I helped map the data sources, rebuilt the budgeting controls and introduced a simple monthly review pack for management. The result was a more transparent view of cost drivers and a measurable reduction in rework. Colleagues appreciated the steady cadence of checks, and the audit trail stood up under review by external auditors. Professional close I’m keen to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name] in the Internal Auditor role and share concrete examples from my work at [Previous Company]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
