4. Familiarize with supply chain finance activities related to controls to guide control testing.
5. Monitor KPIs and financial metrics to identify trends, risks, and opportunities, working closely with manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain functions.
6. Assist with internal financial control assessments, audits, track findings, develop action plans, and ensure remediation.
7. Support innovation and transition projects by reviewing process designs and performing control impact assessments.

• Expertise in SOX compliance, auditing, and risk management.
