- Perform tests of control design and operating effectiveness.
- Develop test procedures, validate testing populations, select samples, inspect evidence, document exceptions, and prepare testing conclusions.
- Evaluate control exceptions, perform root-cause analysis, and assist control owners with developing sustainable remediation plans.
- Track remediation activities and perform follow-up testing to confirm corrective actions are operating effectively.
- Support internal and external audits by coordinating walkthroughs, evidence requests, testing inquiries, and remediation updates.
- Participate in financial system implementations, integrations, upgrades, and process changes to ensure control requirements are incorporated into the design.
- Review system roles, approval workflows, configurations, data conversions, and testing results from a risk and controls perspective.
- Develop training materials and provide guidance to control owners on control performance, documentation, and evidence retention.
- Identify opportunities to automate controls, monitoring activities, evidence collection, and testing procedures.

## WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field.
- Five or more years of experience in financial systems, audit, or related field.
- Experience documenting end-to-end processes through narratives, flowcharts, procedures, or risk and control matrices.
- Experience performing control walkthroughs and testing control design or operating effectiveness.
- Experience preparing testing workpapers and documenting findings, exceptions, and conclusions.
- Knowledge of IT general controls, automated application controls, manual controls, and IT-dependent controls.
- Familiarity with access management, segregation of duties, change management, system interfaces, and data-integrity controls.
- Experience working with an enterprise resource planning system or other financial applications.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple testing activities, audit requests, and remediation deadlines.
- Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with global, cross-functional teams.

## BONUS POINTS:

- Professional certification such as CPA, Chartered Accountant, CIA, CISA, CRISC, or equivalent.
- Experience with NetSuite or another enterprise resource planning platform.
- Experience with procurement, expense, treasury, planning, billing, revenue, or financial reporting applications.
- Experience evaluating system-generated reports and information produced by the entity.
