Tips to Successfully Land This Role
First, demonstrate your audit and investigation skills clearly. This role is not just about ticking boxes, it requires digging into transactions, spotting patterns, and ensuring procedures are followed. On your CV, include specific examples of how your work has uncovered fraud, reduced errors, or tightened internal controls.
Second, show familiarity with QSR or food business operations. Even if your audit experience is from another sector, link your skills to restaurant-specific needs like inventory control, cash handling, and wastage tracking. If you’ve worked with POS data, daily sales reconciliation, or inventory audits, make that stand out.
Third, highlight your integrity and attention to detail. Auditors are trusted to protect the company’s finances and processes — recruiters will be looking for a track record of professionalism, discretion, and accurate reporting.
Finally, tailor your application so it aligns with the specific responsibilities listed. Use industry-relevant terms and be prepared to discuss real-life examples in the interview, like how you flagged irregular void transactions, reconciled sales discrepancies, or improved compliance with company procedures.
