  • Collaborate closely with the financial reporting team to foster continuous improvement and establish a robust controls culture.
  • Understand the implications of operational/system changes on procedures and core systems, assessing the accounting and control ramifications of proposed system modifications.
  • Engage in scoping activities to identify key risk areas for audit.
  • Design tailored procedures and execute audit projects efficiently where appropriate.
  • Communicate audit findings and recommendations to leadership team members.
  • Perform controls testing and substantive audit work to a standard that can be relied upon by external auditors for statutory financial audits.
  • Understand the interaction and impact of subsidiary systems on accounting systems to ensure system integrity.
  • Act as a key point of contact for External Auditors regarding process and financial system overviews, ensuring any audit implications are identified, evaluated, and agreed upon.
  • Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in internal financial systems controls.
  • Assist in implementing the strategy for internal control.
  • Work with process owners to prepare and update process documentation, ensuring that key financial reporting controls across the organization are identified and documented.
  • Establish improvements in financial controls design and provide training to embed enhanced processes and controls.
  • Maintain and monitor the Financial Controls Framework and ensure adherence to policies.
  • Contribute to the vision for the future development of the financial control environment alongside increasing automation.
  • Participate in ad hoc projects aimed at enhancing accounting and reporting processes that support organizational growth.
  • Coordinate with internal and external audit teams to align on audit plans and discuss any new expectations or changes in approach, advocating on behalf of the organization when necessary.
