Key responsibilities include

• Own and maintain the Finance risk and control matrix and related control inventory, ensuring alignment with the ETRC RACM methodology, taxonomy and governance requirements.
• Maintain Finance risk-to-control mappings and support an integrated view of applications, processes, risks, controls, ownership, access, vendors and key technology dependencies.
• Coordinate Finance control additions, updates and removals with control owners, delegates, Operations & Reporting and Assurance & Compliance stakeholders.
• Consolidate Finance control changes and prepare accurate RACM and ISQM updates that reflect approved control design activities.
• Assess Finance applications, processes and technology changes to identify requirements for new or updated controls, including IT general controls, SDLC controls, interfaces, access and segregation of duties.
• Lead control rationalization and control impact assessments, identify duplication or coverage gaps and recommend changes to control design, ownership and accountability.
• Manage the design and readiness process for new or updated Finance controls, including stakeholder consultation, required approvals, sign-offs and readiness for implementation.
