• Prepare clear, concise audit reports that communicate findings, risk ratings, root causes, and practical recommendations for management and the Audit Committee.

• Review SOC 1 Type II reports and assess the adequacy of complementary user entity controls; design and implement compensating controls as appropriate.

• Monitor remediation plans, validate corrective actions, and report on the status of open issues and control deficiencies.

• Support external auditors and regulatory examinations by coordinating audit requests, collecting evidence, facilitating walkthroughs, and responding to inquiries.

• Advise management on emerging technology risks, cybersecurity threats, system implementations, artificial intelligence governance, automation initiatives, and evolving compliance expectations.

• Promote continuous improvement in IT governance, risk management, compliance, and internal-control practices throughout the organization.

• Strong knowledge of SOX compliance requirements, internal-control frameworks, enterprise systems, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity frameworks.

• Working knowledge of COSO, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, CMMC, and government-contracting control expectations.

• Ability to translate complex technical risks and control issues into clear, actionable recommendations for nontechnical business leaders and executive stakeholders.
