RESPONSIBILITIES

You will play a vital role in the scoping and planning of the audits, deploy audit and analytical procedures and techniques to assess the design and operating effectiveness of the controls to mitigate the risks, and discuss the results with the firm’s local and global management. In addition, you will also monitor and follow up with management on the resolution of open audit findings.
