About Internal Audit  

Internal Audit (‘Audit’) at NAB provides an independent perspective through periodic analysis and reviews of NAB’s key business activities, in order to deliver assurance and insight as to how well risk is being managed, to The Board and Senior Management. Audit plays a key role in helping NAB fulfil its commitments to its customers, while ensuring strong risk management, governance, and control processes across the organisation.
 
Through a risk-based and data-driven approach, Audit assesses key business operations and risks, delivering assurance, and providing expert recommendations and actions as part of any improvement opportunities identified. Through strong engagement with key business stakeholders, we support effective risk management, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and organisational resilience in a complex and evolving banking environment.

Audit is responsible for independent assurance across the bank, through business aligned audit teams:

• Business & Private Banking and Corporate & Institutional Banking
• Personal Banking, Operations, Financial Crime
• Technology & Data
