- Contribute to the continuous enhancement of audit methodology, tools, and best practices within the function
- Support continuous monitoring of the business and assist in exploring opportunities to automate monitoring processes
- Assist with advisory reviews, special projects, and regulatory-related initiatives as required
The Internal Audit function is a modern, technology-enabled assurance team providing independent coverage across the firm's multi-jurisdictional footprint.

The team combines traditional audit rigor with a data-driven approach, leveraging automation and continuous monitoring to keep pace with a cloud-native, fast-moving business.
