Standard Chartered today announced the appointment of Paul Day as Group Head of Internal Audit, subject to regulatory approval.

Mr Day, who has been the Chief Internal Auditor at Lloyds Bank Group from 2017, will be reporting to Phil Rivett, Chair of the Group Board Audit Committee and the Group CEO, Bill Winters. He will be based in the UK.

She will remain with the Group in an advisory capacity for the rest of 2022 and continue as a member of the Standard Chartered Bank (UK) Board.

Mr Day commented on his appointment:

“I look forward to taking on a new global challenge at Standard Chartered, working with the Group Board Audit Committee, Standard Chartered management team and the Group Internal Audit team to help the Group on the next stage of its journey. I’m excited to be joining, and working with, such a diverse team.”

Subject to regulatory approval, Mr Day will begin his new role effective 1 April 2022.
