GOAL has been in Haiti for over six years, operating programmes in both the urban and rural context, in Port au Prince and Gressier respectively. GOAL continues to respond to the housing, water and sanitation needs of vulnerable families affected by the earthquake, while transitioning to delivery of an integrated community-led development programme. During this strategic period GOAL aims to link relief and recovery to development, focusing on 3 key programmatic sectors: DRR & Environment, WASH and Economic Development. The objective of the programme is to create communities that are safer and more disaster resilient, with greater access to the economic resources to drive their own household and community development. Primary donors include: USAID/OFDA, European Union, ECHO, Irish Aid and private trusts and foundations.

Reporting to the Country Director and being a key member of the GOAL Risk committee, the Internal Audit-Compliance Officer (IA-CO) will be responsible for regular auditing of GOAL Haiti’ s programmes and operations to ensure compliance with GOAL and Donor rules and regulations. In particular, the audits will assess whether internal controls are adequate and identify improvements where necessary across all departments in GOAL, including programmes, finance, logistics, HR and IT. The IA-CO will have responsibility for completing the Quarterly Compliance Task List for HQ submission each quarter. He/she will also be responsible for the coordination of donor audits, either in-country or through Dublin, where requested.
