• Work collaboratively with audit teams and/ or co-source audit resources to perform planned operational, compliance and integrated-IT audits across different functions and sites. Each assignment typically lasts between 6 to 7 weeks with 3 to 4 weeks 2/4 of preparation phase, followed by 3 weeks of on-site fieldwork. Key responsibilities during the assignment are as follow:

Audit preparation

o Get familiar with the audit scope, through various measure such as (not exhaustive): training, reviewing corporate guidelines, interviews of global or regional process owners, data analysis, and reviewing issues identified in past audit assignment.

o Get familiar with the business environment, the organization and relevant performance measures to be able to put areas for improvement into perspective.

o Based on your knowledge and risk assessment, develop effective audit test steps to be conducted on the field.

Audit fieldwork

o Develop a deep knowledge of the actual process and identify areas for improvement to better manage the associated risk. This will require asking relevant questions to process participants, data deep-dive, identification of trends and vouching of documents to identify inconsistencies and complete the relevant testing strategy.

o Provide the audit team leader with timely update of your progress and when significant information is identified.

o When you identify areas for improvement, be prepared to have open discussion within the team to investigate the root cause(s) and develop perspective on possible action plans which are practical, clear, and easy to understand.

o You will have to debrief process owners, convince them and work with them on how to concretely improve the process.

o Draft audit recommendations in a concise and impactful manner which is easy for individuals not familiar with the process (and who will receive the report) to understand the risk and/ or lost opportunities identified.

Audit wrap-up

o Complete audit work papers and ensure that documentation is sufficient to justify the tests performed and audit findings identified.

o Formalize assignment feedback with the team leader and audit supervisor and discuss development opportunities with your functional manager.

During the different phases of the audit, you will be coached by the audit team leader who will help you to develop the most relevant and reliable audit approach. Since the time available will be limited, you will have to constantly manage your priorities within short timeline.

• Periodically follow-up on the action plans agreed with and committed by the audited organization.
