• Evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management practices across business processes and systems.
• Assess the adequacy of governance and compliance with internal policies, procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Review critical systems and platforms supporting the business to ensure appropriate control design, security, and operational integrity.
• Support the assessment of new initiatives, technology projects, and system implementations from a risk and controls perspective.
• Identify improvement opportunities and provide practical, risk-based recommendations to management.
• Prepare clear and concise audit reports and communicate findings effectively to relevant stakeholders.
• Collaborate with teams across Finance, Technology, Risk, and Compliance to validate observations and monitor remediation efforts.
