  • Conduct regular risk assessments to pinpoint control weaknesses, potential risks, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external consultants to design and execute remediation plans addressing control deficiencies and mitigating identified risks.
  • Monitor and analyze financial transactions and systems to detect suspicious or fraudulent activities, errors, or other anomalies.
  • Perform regular and ad hoc internal audits to ensure compliance with established controls and identify potential enhancements.
  • Stay updated on industry knowledge, understanding changes in financial auditing, accounting standards, and regulatory requirements, while introducing best practices to the organization.
  • Provide guidance and training to finance and operational teams regarding control procedures, policies, and compliance requirements.
  • Assist the finance team in preparing for external audits, liaising with auditors to provide necessary documentation and support during audit engagements.
  • Generate detailed reports and presentations to communicate control findings, recommendations, and progress to management.

Qualifications:

  • Must be a qualified accountant or possess significant experience specifically in Finance, Accounting, ERP, and Financial Systems controls.
  • Extensive prior experience in implementing and auditing financial controls, focusing on Financial Systems, Information Systems Audit, IT Audit, and Financial Controls.
  • Familiarity with regulatory requirements (e.g., SOX, COSO) and experience in developing and maintaining compliance frameworks.
  • Proficiency in analyzing financial data, identifying control weaknesses, and proposing effective solutions.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders and articulate complex financial concepts.
  • Proficiency in financial software and systems (e.g., ERP systems, data analysis tools).
  • Able to devise practical solutions in a transformational systems environment.
  • While not mandatory, ideally, candidates will hold qualifications such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent, or be a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) or equivalent.
