Marla Snyman

I am currently an Internal Audit Manager in the Group Internal Audit team at IAG in Auckland, New Zealand. My professional journey began in 2002 at PwC, where I completed five years of external audit articles before transitioning into Internal Audit at Grant Thornton. In 2019, my husband, our three daughters, and I relocated from South Africa to New Zealand, where I joined EY Auckland as an Internal Audit Manager.

In 2021, I had the opportunity to join PwC’s Internal Audit team. The following year, I moved to IAG’s Group Internal Audit team to gain exposure to the insurance industry and apply my extensive Internal Audit experience from my tenure at Big 4 firms. Over the past 20 years, I have built a strong background in both Internal and External Audit, working across the public and private sectors. I am a member of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and approach every task with professionalism, innovation, and collaboration. I am dedicated, hardworking, and adaptable—comfortable leading but equally effective in a supporting role. My strong interpersonal skills make me a valuable team player.

I am deeply passionate about the Internal Audit profession and believe I have valuable industry knowledge to share with my peers.
