• Identify, assess, document, and communicate control exceptions and deficiencies.
• Work with control owners and the Lead Auditor to document management responses, remediation actions, ownership, and target dates.
• Maintain the C-SOX audit status dashboard, including testing progress, outstanding requests, exceptions, remediation, and controls at risk.
• Identify recurring issues, process improvements, control enhancements, and potential automation opportunities.
• Escalate significant issues including missing evidence, repeated exceptions, scope limitations, potential management override, or fraud indicators.
• Support audit quality reviews, workpaper sign-offs, review-note clearance, and timely completion of the C-SOX audit.
