  • Deep knowledge of SOX 404, ITGCs, automated controls, application controls, control dependency mapping, COSO, audit methodology, deficiency assessment, remediation governance, and management response development.
  • Solid understanding of technology operations and security controls that underpin financial reporting, including IAM, PAM, user access reviews, leading system modifications, infrastructure operations, cloud environments, logging, monitoring, backups, and job scheduling.
  • Demonstrated ability to establish effective control documentation and evidence standards, coordinate audit and testing activities, manage issue tracking and remediation, improve control execution, and deliver executive-level reporting.
