Responsibilities

Internal Audit is a global function providing independent assurance and evaluating the company's risk management, governance, and internal control processes to determine whether they are designed and operating effectively. We plan and execute audit projects against a risk-based audit plan, evaluating operational, compliance, IT, and financial processes and controls, and we work with business functions to address risks and improve the control environment, tracking remediation through to completion.

In a fast-moving global business, we navigate complex and emerging risks across TikTok products including TikTok Shop, payments, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies, as well as evolving regulatory environments.
