• Produce clear, evidence-based audit reports using a risk-based approach, with prioritised findings and recommendations to reduce risk and improve efficiency, linked back to the delegated authority agreement.

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of the Lloyd's delegated authority model, the Lloyd's coordinated audit framework, and the current LMA Coverholder Audit Scope and guidance notes.
