Auditor Cover Letters

An auditor's cover letter should effectively portray the candidate's ability to review the business records for checking its accuracy as well to verify the efficiency of the company's quality management system. It should represent productively, but not grandstand, the candidate's skills in accounting, bookkeeping, taxation, statistical data analysis and management, cost accounting and auditing, quantitative and qualitative analysis, financial assessments etc.

It needs to be designed in such a manner that it also reflects the jobseeker's proficiency in reviewing various data in accordance to the organization's liabilities, assets, capital stocks, income, and expenditures, to check for any discrepancies and suggest any necessary, desirable changes in its financial system to improve its financial condition.

As an auditor, you need to give equal importance, in your cover letter, to your understanding in financial and organizational laws, while focusing on your ability to inspect the company's annual financial records, to detect any duplicated efforts, noncompliance with policies and regulations, deficiency in the financial controls, or any frauds, so as to report to the management and take necessary actions in accordance with the organizational policies.While including your skills in the auditor cover letter, make sure you relate them to your previous employment, but avoid getting into the details of your job description, for they are included in your resume. Besides focusing on your skills and abilities, you need to mention how you will contribute to the employer as an employee. You need to mention how the employer will be benefited by hiring you. Here, you need to be very careful, so as to avoid any exaggeration.

As far as your academic and professional qualification is concerned, you need not explain them in detail; simply provide a brief introduction to your professional background. Be concise throughout the letter, so as to restrict it to one page only. This will be of great help to your recruiter, who is likely to be busy with several job applications.

Given below are free samples of auditor cover letters, which will guide you throughout the process of writing your own for your job application.
