  • Communicate audit findings, recommendations, and action plans to senior management and relevant stakeholders
  • Monitor progress of management's committed action plans and validate closure of remediated audit issues and regulatory findings
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of our audit methodology and development of the annual plan 
  • Stay informed about industry trends, regulations, and emerging risks to tailor audit activities accordingly 
  • Develop and maintain productive client and team relationships
