- Leverage GRC tools (e.g., AuditBoard) and data analytics techniques to enhance testing efficiency, documentation, and reporting.
- Support the team in preparing audit reports that concisely articulate the audit findings.
- Support continuous improvement of the SOX framework, including standardisation of IT control testing and documentation.
