Position Overview:

This role will be responsible for leading and executing financial, operational, and internal control reviews to assess the design and operating effectiveness of controls across Airgas entities. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in external financial audit, technical accounting, and financial reporting controls to assess key risks, evaluate compliance with IFRS and Air Liquide Group standards, rather than SOX 404 compliance testing.

• Provide independent and objective assurance on the quality and effectiveness of internal financial controls, risk management, and governance processes across business entities.

• Audit financial records, statements, and reporting processes to ensure compliance with IFRS, Air Liquide Group policies, and relevant regulatory requirements.

• Identify key financial and operational risks, test internal controls, and document clear, concise audit findings and working papers.

• Partner with business divisions to make value-added recommendations that improve operational efficiency, strengthen financial controls, and mitigate risk.

• Conduct follow-up reviews to monitor management’s implementation of audit recommendations and corrective action plans.

• Maintain constructive relationships with audited entities while safeguarding strict audit independence and confidentiality.

• Conduct or assist with fraud investigations and special projects as needed.

Required Qualifications and Competencies:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (or equivalent business degree with an accounting concentration).

• Experience: 3 - 5 years of progressive auditing experience, with a strong background in external financial auditing (Big 4 or regional public accounting firm experience strongly preferred).

• Technical Skills: Solid technical accounting knowledge, including proficiency in IFRS and US GAAP accounting standards, financial reporting controls, and testing of key financial controls.

• Knowledge of IIA standards, internal audit principles, and fraud investigation guidelines.

Preferred Qualifications and Competencies:

• CPA certification (active or currently in progress) strongly preferred; CIA or CFE is a plus.

• Prior industrial, manufacturing, gas, or distribution industry experience highly preferred.

• Knowledge of SAP financial modules is highly desirable.
