Monitor testing procedures for effectiveness, execute or supervise the execution of testing procedures, and report results to applicable stakeholders and executives.
Maintain internal control environment and ensure compliance with accounting policies and SOX regulations.
Rationalize ITGC controls within and across both the SOX and DFARs ecosystems to focus on risks of material misstatement or non-compliance and optimize testing effectiveness.
Develop risk perspectives and internal control recommendations based on thorough understanding of the company’s business, operational processes, and related risks and recommend improved control design to satisfy regulatory requirements efficiently.
Drive the adoption of enhanced data analytics and process automation and contribute to the ongoing development of the SOX PMO, including driving continuous process improvement and operations.
Collaborate cross-functionally to provide strategic guidance to stakeholders to drive process improvements and optimization.
Establish key stakeholder relationships at both the corporate and sector levels.
