Chief Internal Auditor

Like its bold start in 1916 and its subsequent stance of defiance in the 1960’s through to 1994, this iconic university has shown  grit and determination. Now again in the 2000’s, it has faced yet another bout of assault, this time of covert proportions. And yet again, the same grit and determination has shone through. Are you eager and determined to help reposition this iconic institution to the position it so richly deserves?
