Samples of auditor cover letters

Auditors are responsible for verifying the accuracy of financial statements and ensuring that businesses are following the law. When writing an auditor cover letter, these are some of the essential things to include in your letter:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient or hiring manager).”

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Write a short sentence about why you’re interested in the position.

• State your skills and work experience; ensure they are similar to the job position. When stating your skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position further.”

“Dear Hiring Manager,

It is my pleasure to apply for the Auditor position at Flagship Engineering. As a trained accountant with a history of internal auditing, I believe that I would be a good fit for the role and an asset to your organization. My talents also include excellent communication skills that have helped me train dozens of accounting clerks and bookkeepers during my career.

I previously worked as an auditor for companies such as Centurion Medical and Crossover Software where I managed all internal accounting processes. This included reviewing all posted transactions, editing journal entries whenever necessary and coordinating external audits with independent accountants. During the past two years as the U.S. taxation laws changed, I completed over 300 hours of continuing education. Courtesy of that knowledge, I helped my former employer save over $5,000 in penalties and fees that would have been levied due to failure to report certain types of income.

I am very skilled with all accounting software as well as in-depth research that helps answer complex inquires and complete long-term projects. My experience is based on working with large teams and guiding new workers through a wide variety of auditing tasks. I also have a history of holding weekly seminars on the auditing principles that helped my former coworkers improve performance and complete tasks between 29 and 35% faster. I believe that I will be able to use my auditing experience and knowledge to help Flagship Engineering meet quarterly goals by facilitating the smooth operation of the auditing projects to which I am assigned.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am excited to learn more about the Auditor position as well as the expectations at Flagship Engineering. I hope to receive a chance to interact with you in person, discuss my growth objectives and demonstrate my abilities.

Sincerely,

Jax Sampson”

Dear Mr. Redd,

Re: Open Audit Associate position at Audit Protection Co.

I came across your advert for an Audit Associate on your company’s website. I am a person who is particularly passionate about ensuring that companies are able to operate to the best of their ability. I firmly believe that I have the knowledge and capability to take up this role as an Auditor for your company, Audit Protection Co. My previous experience and audit legislation knowledge mean that I already possess the skills to start working for you immediately.

Back in 2017, I graduated from Surrey University with a degree in Accounting. Over the last couple of years since then, I have been employed with another Auditing company, while taking several short law courses alongside my full-time work. In my company position, I have travelled across the country to audit all manner of companies, big and small.

Thanks to these experiences, I am confident in the use of various Auditing software that is currently available, as well as Excel, as some companies prefer their data to be on a program that they’re familiar with. My auditing process is refined and streamlined.

I place great emphasis on attention to detail while I’m auditing for a company. My main goal is to improve the company’s efficiency and processes by boosting its productivity. From the job description that your company has provided, I believe that I more than possess the qualities that you’d be looking for in an experienced Auditor.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my credentials with you in greater detail. Please feel free to contact me any time via my mobile or email (as noted at the top of this letter).

Kindest regards,

Joshua Russelle”
