What some of our past auditors have said about their time in Internal Audit

“Internal Audit provides an excellent overview of the group structure, internal governance processes and allows interaction across a diverse range of both staff and businesses - providing a great introduction for people starting in BP.”
Regional Security Adviser

“I reflect on my time in IA as a very valuable time in my career. It has certainly given me a different approach and outlook on the way I conduct my function – I feel much stronger around developing strategy and I gained a better insight into our group governance.”
HSSE Manager Libya

“The experience enabled me to rapidly learn a lot about the broader BP Group, meet hundreds of new people at all levels and build a valuable network of colleagues.” Finance Manager Angola

“Internal Audit is a chance to see a broad view of the business and how it is pulled together in terms of planning and control.”
Engineering Development Manager Angola

“Internal Audit offers an opportunity to understand how a company operates across the breadth and depth of its locations and how performance can be impacted by the controls of its organisation."
Director Petroleum and Reservoir Engineering TNK-BP Shareholder Team

“My first 3 years in BP within Internal Audit were the most productive in terms of knowledge building and gaining experience in the 21 years I have been working. Audit developed my writing and project management skills and provided me with the ability to deliver powerful messages through report writing. It gave me the confidence to build new business relationships and ultimately gave me the confidence to take my experience and improved skills and use them to best ability within BP Shipping, where I carried out a number of investigations and 'audit' type activities.”
Compliance Adviser

“My experiences in Internal Audit broadened my understanding of the company and deepened by appreciation of the strengths in the culture of BP. Being an auditor is constant learning adventure and you learn as much from the client as you do from your own team. Audit is an opportunity and a trust to contribute to overall reputation and development of the company.”
Safety & Operations Audit Training Manager

“As my first role in BP, Internal Audit gave me a fantastic overview of the Group and how it operates, the objectives of senior executives and the importance of this function's role in helping deliver business success. Whether an audit professional or building experience for future roles in BP, the strategic value of the work and the personal development it offers makes the function a great place to be. I highly recommend it.”
