Internal Audit jobs

Company Overview:

Cambridge Advisers is a leading professional services firm headquartered in Singapore. We specialize in providing regulatory compliance, fund administration, and corporate services to financial institutions and multinational corporations. Our work is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and our reputation depends on the accuracy, care, and professionalism of every piece of advice and every report we deliver.

We do not treat compliance as an administrative function. We treat it as a regulated profession.

Role Purpose:

We are seeking a Regulatory Compliance & Internal Audit Specialist to support our clients in meeting their regulatory obligations. The role involves delivering high-quality regulatory compliance advisory and internal audit work, particularly for MAS-regulated financial institutions.

While full regulatory mastery is developed through on-the-job experience, this role requires strong research discipline, sound professional judgment, and a genuine commitment to learning and continuous improvement. Candidates are expected to verify applicable regulations, conduct proper research, and escalate when unsure, rather than rely on assumptions or memory.

This role is well-suited for professionals who take pride in producing careful, thoughtful, and defensible work, and who understand that regulatory compliance and internal audit are professional disciplines subject to regulatory scrutiny.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage a portfolio of clients, ensuring compliance with MAS regulations and other relevant regulatory frameworks.
• Develop, implement, and maintain compliance policies, procedures, and frameworks for clients.
• Conduct compliance monitoring and internal audits to assess adherence to regulatory requirements.
• Prepare and review regulatory reports and filings, including MAS returns.
• Provide advisory services on regulatory developments and their impact on financial institutions.
• Support clients in licensing applications, regulatory submissions, and interactions with regulatory authorities.
• Assist in the review of customer due diligence (CDD) processes, anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, and risk assessments.
• Conduct compliance training sessions for clients to enhance awareness of regulatory requirements.
• Monitor and interpret changes in regulatory guidelines, ensuring timely implementation of necessary compliance adjustments.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in a financial services regulatory compliance/ internal audit role. Experiences relating to the fund management industry will be preferred.
• Strong knowledge of MAS regulations, including the Securities and Futures Act, Financial Advisers Act, and applicable MAS Notices and Guidelines.
• Ability and willingness to research regulations independently
• Strong sense of professional responsibility and ownership over work quality
• Familiarity with AML/CFT regulations and customer due diligence processes.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple client portfolios effectively.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Banking, Business, Law, or a related field.
• Professional certifications such as ICA, ACAMS, or equivalent will be an advantage.
• Proficiency in English is required

Why Join Us?

• Exposure to complex, high-quality regulatory advisory and assurance work
• Clear professional standards and expectations
• Strong emphasis on learning, mentorship, and quality
• Opportunity to grow into senior regulatory, audit, and advisory roles

We value professionals who are careful, thoughtful, and committed to getting regulatory work right. Candidates who take pride in accuracy and continuous improvement will thrive at Cambridge Advisers.
