• Develop and execute risk-based alternative control testing procedures in accordance with approved methodologies.

• Perform targeted testing of identified CUEC gaps and conduct control walkthroughs as necessary to understand control design and operation.

• Obtain and evaluate evidence supporting the design and operating effectiveness of controls, including validating populations and samples when required.

• Prepare comprehensive testing workpapers covering the control tested, testing period, population, evidence reviewed, testing attributes, results, exceptions, and preliminary conclusions.

• Coordinate with Partner Risk and Internal Control Testing teams on SOC, ITGC, CUEC, transaction, and account-level testing matters.

• Communicate testing status, exceptions, remediation progress, and potential financial reporting impacts while supporting management and audit reporting.

Requirements

• 5 years of relevant experience in internal controls, SOX/ICFR, internal audit, public accounting, financial controls, risk management, or related control testing functions.

• Strong understanding of internal controls over financial reporting and control testing concepts.

• Working knowledge of SOX, ICFR, and the COSO framework.

• Familiarity with SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports, Complementary User Entity Controls (CUECs), IT General Controls (ITGCs), and business process controls.

• Demonstrated ability to translate control or assurance gaps into practical, risk-based testing procedures.

• Experience performing internal control testing, evaluating evidence, conducting sample-based testing where applicable, analyzing exceptions, and preparing testing workpapers.

• Ability to distinguish between missing controls, missing evidence, insufficient testing, and gaps in audit or assurance coverage.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify control issues, assess potential financial reporting impacts, and develop well-supported conclusions.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across fintech partners, Financial Controls, Risk, testing teams, management, and auditors.

• Ability to independently manage multiple partner control assessments and testing assignments within established timelines.

• Exceptional attention to detail and proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and other control documentation and testing tools.
