Assistant Internal Auditor

As our Assistant Internal Auditor , you will support the day-to-day execution of the hotel's internal audit activities, with a strong focus on revenue, cash, financial controls, stock, operational processes and compliance .

You will be expected to understand not only what the numbers say, but also how those numbers are generated within the operation, from the guest transaction and cashier, through OPERA and other systems, to the final accounting records.

This role requires someone who is analytical, curious, detail-oriented and confident enough to ask, “Does this make sense?”

Revenue & Financial Audits

• Review daily revenue reports and supporting documentation for accuracy and completeness.
• Audit gross and net revenue figures and identify discrepancies for review.
• Review previous-day bills and verify proper bill sequencing and supporting documentation.
• Check city ledger, guest ledger, staff bills and business entertainment transactions for proper authorization and accurate recording.
• Reconcile OPERA account balances with Back Office/SUN balances and investigate variances.
• Assist with the daily revenue journal process from OPERA to SUN.
• Review OPERA reports, including market and room statistics, and identify unusual or inconsistent entries.
• Review PM accounts and supporting documentation.
• Assist in reviewing tax computations and statutory deductions.
• Review cash bar operations and related revenue controls.

Cash & Cashier Controls

• Conduct scheduled and surprise cash checks as assigned.
• Check General Cashier and Front Office cashier floats.
• Reconcile cash floats and investigate discrepancies.
• Review cash handling procedures and supporting documentation.
• Escalate irregularities and control weaknesses promptly to the Internal Auditor.

Stock & Operational Audits

• Participate in monthly stock takes and assist with physical stock verification.
• Conduct random checks of receiving areas and review compliance with receiving procedures.
• Review stock documentation, movement and supporting records.
• Conduct spot checks across operational areas, including banqueting and other revenue-generating areas.
• Assist in identifying operational control gaps, wastage, discrepancies and process weaknesses.

Internal Controls & Compliance

• Support internal audit reviews across different hotel departments.
• Test compliance with established policies, procedures and internal controls.
• Assist in identifying control gaps and potential operational or financial risks.
• Support internal certification and compliance audits.
• Follow up on agreed corrective actions and verify implementation.
• Escalate suspected fraud, irregularities or significant control breaches.
• Maintain confidentiality and professional independence when handling sensitive information.

Audit Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare accurate audit schedules, working papers and supporting documentation.
• Document audit observations clearly and ensure findings are supported by sufficient evidence.
• Assist in preparing audit reports and summaries.
• Record management responses and agreed corrective actions accurately.
• Maintain organized audit files and ensure outstanding audit issues are followed up.
• Provide timely feedback on findings to the Internal Auditor and relevant departments.

We're looking for someone who is comfortable following the trail .

You should be able to look at a report, transaction or reconciliation and notice when something doesn't quite add up. You should also be comfortable going beyond the numbers to understand what happened, why it happened and whether the right controls were followed.

You will ideally have:

• A Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration or a related field .
• CPA, ACCA or equivalent professional qualification is an added advantage.
• 2-3 years' experience in internal audit, external audit, accounting or finance.
• Previous experience within a hotel or hospitality environment is highly preferred.
• Practical experience in revenue auditing, cash audits, reconciliations and financial controls.
• Experience with OPERA, SUN, POS, Materials Management or similar systems is an advantage.
• Exposure to stock taking, receiving and operational audits is an advantage.
• Strong Excel and data-handling skills.
• Good understanding of accounting and internal control principles.

• Have a naturally analytical and investigative mind .
• Pay attention to the details others may overlook.
• Are comfortable working with numbers, reports and large amounts of information.
• Can identify discrepancies and follow them through to their source.
• Ask questions respectfully and know when something needs to be escalated.
• Can work independently while knowing when to seek guidance.
• Communicate findings clearly and professionally.
• Can maintain confidentiality and objectivity when dealing with sensitive information.
• Are organized and able to manage several assignments and deadlines.
• Can work comfortably across both Finance and operational departments.
• Stay calm and focused in a fast-paced hotel environment.

This isn't a role where you'll spend every day behind a desk.

You may be reviewing revenue reports in the morning, checking cashier floats, following up on a reconciliation, participating in a stock take or carrying out an operational spot check later in the day.

The hotel operates across different departments, systems and shifts, so the ability to understand the bigger operational picture is important. You will interact with Finance, Front Office, Food & Beverage, Kitchen, Banquets, Stores, Receiving and other operational teams as part of your work.

You'll gain exposure to both financial and operational auditing within a dynamic hotel environment , working across multiple departments and systems.

You'll also have the opportunity to develop your audit skills beyond traditional financial checks, building a deeper understanding of revenue controls, hotel operations, risk, compliance and process improvement.

If you're looking for a role where your attention to detail actually makes a difference, we'd like to hear from you.

The Social House is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a workplace where people are treated with dignity, performance is pursued with integrity and every team member contributes meaningfully to the success of the hotel.
