Through its oversight and leadership, GCO plays a critical role in maintaining robust and effective financial reporting control environment across the Bank.

Reporting to the AVP, GCO, the Senior Manager, GCO will be responsible for providing strategic guidance and oversight over financial reporting governance policies and control frameworks owned by the Chief Accountant's Department, while identifying opportunities to enhance processes and controls. The role also supports key components of the Bank's ICFR program, projects and other initiatives impacting Finance.

This position requires building strong partnerships across the Bank (e.g. Internal Audit, Technology, Finance) as well as with External Audit. The Senior Manager, GCO represents the GCO on appropriate forums and assesses the potential impacts of change initiatives, emerging risks and issues on financial reporting policies and the execution of the ICFR program.

• Prepare risk and control assessments, identify gaps, and recommend remediation actions, as required.

• Execute annual ICFR program activities related to Entity-Level Controls, including risk assessments, planning, control attestation, findings analysis, and ongoing stakeholder communications and reporting.
• Provide risk and control expertise for projects impacting ICFR and Finance, ensuring financial reporting risks are identified early and that implementation and ongoing controls are appropriately designed from the outset-preventing audit surprises, rework, and late-stage remediation.
• Act as a change champion by identifying potential issues and improvement opportunities, effectively presenting them to the AVP, GCO and other executives, and driving resolution.
• Lead and/or contribute to initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of GCO processes and methodology, including enhanced standardization and documentation.
• Partner with Operational Risk to support the integration of ICFR risks and controls into the Bank's enterprise GRC platform, ensuring alignment between financial reporting controls, operational risk taxonomies, and issue management workflows.
• Monitor emerging risks, trends, and regulatory developments, and assess their potential impact on financial reporting controls, policies, and the ICFR program.
• Build and maintain effective working relationships with key internal stakeholders (e.g., Segment Finance, Finance Operations, Governance and Control, Internal Audit) and external auditors.
• Manage ad-hoc initiatives and requests, as required.
• Contribute to a positive team environment by communicating effectively and sharing information, insights, learnings, and points of interest with colleagues.

Job Requirements:

• Professional auditing or accounting designation (CPA, CIA, CISA, or equivalent) is required.
