What you’ll be doing
In this role you will provide leadership in improving the overall control environment within CIBC while developing and maintaining strong relationships with business partners. As part of this work, you will act as an individual contributor or lead multi-skilled audit teams covering the Wealth Management Line of Business. In addition, you will identify business controls, design audit steps and perform testing of these key controls with the objective of providing an independent opinion on the design and effectiveness of these controls in accordance with industry best practices.
At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you’ll spend 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.
How you’ll succeed
Audit Planning and Execution - While you will contribute to developing the division’s risk- based annual audit plan, your main focus will be planning and managing the execution of audits of large or complex businesses by identifying and fully understanding the key business processes and their inherent risk, the control environment, both at the management or operational levels, and the potential residual risks.
Audit Reporting - Where relevant, you will identify significant business control weaknesses, and objectively assess the severity and materiality of the issues and their potential impact in a clear, concise and professional manner. You will also drive the reporting component of the audit.
People and Assignment Leadership - You will coach your team members on their developmental needs and provide leadership during individual assignments as well as team opportunities (this is not a people manager role).
