Position description:    PD - Internal Fraud Investigator.docx

 

We’ve never been ‘just a bank’. Just like you should never be ‘just an employee’. We’re united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we’re making it happen.

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

 

Come and be part of an awesome team of highly experienced professionals with a strong focus on fostering a culture of accountability and transparency across the organisation.  You’ll love the good you can do here. Your investigations experience will help to protect the integrity of the organisation. 

 

As an Internal Fraud Investigator in our Group Financial Crime Risk Department you’ll make an impact by:

• Identifying, assessing, and investigating potential internal fraud, misconduct, and breaches of company policy within the organisation.
• Conducting in-depth investigations into suspected fraudulent activities, policy violations, or unethical behaviour by employees, ensuring compliance with internal governance frameworks, regulatory obligations, and industry best practices.
• Analysing financial transactions, communications, and behavioural patterns to identify potential risks, leveraging data analytics and forensic methodologies to build comprehensive cases. 
• Collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure appropriate actions are taken following investigative findings.
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of internal controls, reporting mechanisms, and risk mitigation strategies to protect the integrity of the organisation.

 

This is a permanent full-time position.  We offer flexible work options that put our people first, with compressed working weeks to provide a 9 day fortnight a popular option in the Financial Crime Risk department. We also operate a hybrid model of working, with minimum 40% in the office per week, increasing to 60% in July 2025.

All locations considered: you must have access to an airport as some interstate travel will be required (on average once a month).
