Responsibilities

The Internal Audit Advisor is responsible for leading and executing complex internal audit, risk, and controls initiatives, with a significant focus on Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) readiness and the development and enhancement of the Company’s internal control environment. This role will leverage extensive experience with SOX, financial reporting risks, and business process controls to support the Company’s continued development of a robust and sustainable internal controls framework.

The Internal Audit Advisor will evaluate business processes and controls, identify key financial and operational risks, and assess whether controls are appropriately designed to mitigate those risks. The individual will lead process walkthroughs, perform risk and control assessments, evaluate control design and operating effectiveness, and identify gaps in processes, documentation, and control execution. 

A key responsibility of this position will be supporting SOX readiness activities, including assessing the Company’s control environment against public-company requirements and leading efforts to enhance process documentation, risk and control matrices, control design, and evidence standards. The Advisor will work closely with Finance, Accounting, and other business functions to identify and remediate control gaps and develop scalable controls that support future SOX compliance.

This position will partner closely with process owners and senior leadership to provide practical guidance on internal controls, risk mitigation, remediation activities, and process improvements.

The Internal Audit Advisor will prepare high-quality audit and controls documentation, reports, and presentations and communicate complex control matters clearly to stakeholders at various levels of the organization. Responsibilities include assisting with planning, execution, and documentation of SOX compliance activities; assessing control design and operating effectiveness; documenting test results; performing quality reviews of SOX testing workpapers, evidence, and conclusions prepared by other auditors; and supporting remediation efforts where necessary. The role may also involve coordinating with external auditors and other third parties in connection with SOX readiness, internal control assessments, and related initiatives.
