Responsibilities of the role:

• Audit Analysis and Planning: Perform comprehensive risk assessments for assigned areas and develop risk‑based audit scoping and test plans. Prioritize coverage based on materiality, inherent risk, regulatory exposure, and data‑driven insights.

• Audit Program Development: Prepare audit programs and approaches that meet the objectives of those audits, with a focus on internal control design and testing. Apply practical judgment to evaluate risk in real‑world scenarios and recommend pragmatic, sustainable solutions. Use data analytics to enhance sample selection, identify outliers, and substantiate findings.

• Judgment and Initiative: Exercise individual judgment and initiative in selecting emphasis for coverage within an audit and determining and locating sources of information.

• Audit Reporting: Communicate findings clearly with quantified impact, specific risk scenarios, and remediation options. Conduct entrance/exit meetings, obtain management concurrence, and influence outcomes through a positive, fact‑based, and non‑confrontational style. Draft high‑quality audit reports and clear them with auditees prior to issuance.

• Follow-Up: Perform follow-up on previously identified audit findings and management’s action plans.

• Project Management and Communication: Manage timelines, milestones, and dependencies; escalate roadblocks early and transparently. Keep Internal Audit leadership and business stakeholders informed of progress and emerging risks.

• Special Projects: Support thematic reviews, data‑led deep dives, and advisory work as assigned.

• Risk and Control Culture: Actively contributes to developing a culture of risk and control awareness throughout the organization.
