How to Prepare for This Role
NGC's selection panel for this Deputy CIA role will assess your senior-level expertise in enterprise risk management, governance reviews, and risk-based audit planning. This is a leadership position requiring both strategic thinking and hands-on engagement delivery. Use this guide to prepare for a structured, competency-based interview.
Email your updated CV with a recent photograph and date of birth in MS Word or PDF format to dgm-audit1@enihr.com by 6 July 2026. Your CV must clearly reflect your CA/ACMA/ACCA qualification, years of post-qualification experience, and specific experience in risk assessment, governance reviews, and audit plan preparation.
Highlight any experience preparing and presenting risk-based audit plans to a Board Audit Committee or equivalent governance body. NGC's panel shortlists on quality and relevance of experience, not just years. Specific, results-oriented achievements in enterprise risk management will strengthen your application.
Be ready to discuss: how you translate enterprise risks into a risk-based annual audit plan, your methodology for conducting governance reviews (whistleblowing, delegation frameworks, policy compliance), how you manage audit engagements from scope approval through draft report, and your experience conducting specialized audits in performance, procurement, or operations.
NGC operates as a government-owned transmission utility under the SOE Act, 2023. The Deputy CIA role requires familiarity with the SOE governance framework, the Fit & Proper criteria under Schedule-IV of the SOE Act, and public sector audit requirements. Review these before your interview.
The NGC selection panel will assess strategic leadership and technical depth. Prepare examples that demonstrate: how you reviewed and improved a risk management framework, how you led a high-stakes governance review, how you managed a team delivering multiple concurrent audit engagements, and how you escalated high-risk findings to senior leadership and the board.
Prepare a concise account of one risk-based audit cycle you led: how you assessed the risk universe, how you built the audit plan, how you managed engagement delivery, and what the outcome was. Senior audit panels at government entities respond well to structured, evidence-based narratives rather than general descriptions of responsibilities.
Arrive with all original credentials and attested copies. Dress formally. Speak with authority on both the strategic and technical dimensions of the Deputy CIA role. Demonstrate that you understand the governance expectations of a state-owned enterprise and can function as a principal advisor to the Chief Internal Auditor. NGC values audit leaders who combine technical rigor with institutional governance awareness.
