Prepare clear, structured audit reports that highlight key risks, root causes and practical, risk‑based recommendations for management.
Follow up on agreed action plans, monitoring remediation of control deficiencies and supporting management in defining sustainable solutions.
Coordinate with External Auditors on SOX and financial reporting topics, including data and documentation requests and the status of key control issues.
Build strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders across Finance and other divisions, positioning Internal Audit as a partner in internal control matters.
Contribute to the evolution of our audit methodology through automation, continuous auditing and the use of AI/advanced analytics where applicable.
