  • Perform an annual SOX Risk Assessment to properly identify risks, support regulatory compliance, improve internal controls, adapt to changes, and ensure efficient resource allocation.
  • Complete SOX optimization reviews to ensure that the company maintains the proper controls needed to appropriately mitigate risk while being efficient in its SOX program execution.
  • Partner with other members of the Internal Audit team to ensure effective and efficient testing of SOX controls.
