• Preparing reporting, including to Senior Management and the Audit Committee, on the results of our control testing.
• General ad hoc second line of defence activities – providing advice to the first line on controls, preparing and delivering training on controls, investigating control failures.
• Supporting our controls culture, running training, information sessions and building control communities.
