Job Title: Regional Internal Controls Manager EMEA

CooperVision is a leading manufacturer of soft contact lenses with a presence in over 100 countries. We are seeking a highly skilled Regional Internal Controls Manager to join our team in the EMEA region.

About the Role:

The Regional Internal Controls Manager will be responsible for managing the control environment across the EMEA region, which includes 24 entities with approximately $1B in gross trade revenue. The successful candidate will have a strong background in public accounting or external audit, internal control/audit, and a good understanding of SOX requirements and US GAAP policy experience.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop strong business partnerships with key regional stakeholders, local controllers & control owners, and coordinate required trainings to ensure compliance requirements are known and understood.
  • Manage communications between the business and global internal controls management to ensure full transparency and collaboration.
  • Actively participate in global internal controls strategic discussions and propose continuous improvement opportunities to drive automation, efficiency, visibility, and accountability in the maintenance of the control environment.
  • Lead control rollouts at locations (new or not previously formalized) to ensure a complete risk and controls framework exists with proper control ownership identified.
  • Track changes in key personnel and/or processes (either planned or implemented) and assess for impact on the control environment – communicate impact, risks requiring mitigation, and required updates to control data and/or documentation.
  • Review annual control certification / self-assessment responses and work with control owners to ensure control records and documentation in the Control Management System are kept up to date and accurate prior to audits.
  • Liaise with the internal and external audit teams to align on audit plan and discuss any new expectations or changes in approach, advocating on behalf of the business where needed.
  • Monitor audit status, outstanding audit requests, issues identified and remediation status to ensure integrity of data reported in the Control Management System and alignment of required actions by the business.
  • Understand and discuss validity of audit issues (both SOX & Non-SOX) with regional audit and local teams, demonstrating ability to clearly articulate risks and communicate concerns or petition for why the business does not agree with issues raised.
  • Monitor reported issues, review financial impact, analyze total exposure, and determine underlying root causes.
  • Partner with remediation owners on development of management responses, due dates & accountability of action items for input to the audit report; propose remediation actions that effectively address the underlying root causes and align with global requirements.
  • Monitor remediation actions, escalate any challenges that may result in exceeded due dates, provide periodic status updates to management, global internal controls management and regional internal audit, and send final confirmation of remediation to internal audit.
  • Annually update risk acceptances and audit memo documentation, route for proper approvals, and submit to audit.
  • Manage the Balance Sheet Review process (plan, schedule, review session tracking, action item tracking, issue reporting, etc) and provide quarterly updates to global internal controls management.
About You:

We are looking for someone with a strong background in public accounting or external audit, internal control/audit, and a good understanding of SOX requirements and US GAAP policy experience. You'll require excellent interpersonal and presentation skills as you will be expected to present to management, auditors and non-accounting stakeholders.

What We Offer:

You'll receive competitive compensation and a fantastic benefits package including: bonus, private medical insurance, 25 days holiday, pension scheme, healthcare cover, life assurance, access to our Wellness Platform to support you in mental health and wellbeing, a discounted contact lens scheme and much more.
