  • Understand and discuss the validity of audit issues (SOX and Non-SOX) with regional audit and local teams, demonstrating the 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, and 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.
