Manager, Global Financial Governance
We're on the lookout for a passionate and detail-oriented professional to oversee global processes and activities tied to key financial and non-financial reporting metrics. These metrics are vital for driving impactful external messaging, ensuring compliance, guiding executive decision-making, and supporting remuneration outcomes.
You'll also play a key role in important Financial Governance programs, including Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and fraud controls, while collaborating with external auditors to ensure smooth delivery of their work.
If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and be at the heart of financial excellence, we'd love to hear from you!
Your day to day
1. Identify all the key financial and non-financial reporting metrics that need to be included within the governance programme. Understand the purpose of the key metric (e.g. required by regulation, internal measure of performance, external publication to IHG stakeholders).
2. For each key metric ensure process maps are prepared, key risks identified, controls are effectively designed and implemented. Ensure process and control owners have been identified. Perform governance and control testing to all control owners and operators.
3. Design a controls' testing methodology that, at a minimum, complies with the auditing standards on limited or reasonable assurance (as appropriate). Testing methodologies must also be designed to achieve internal requirements.
4. Perform control testing in line with the agreed methodology. Ensure additional resources are available to perform testing if required which can be sourced from the wider Global Financial Governance team, Internal Audit or any other appropriate source.
5. Prepare testing result reports and deliver feedback to all the process owners. Advise of control gaps or control deficiencies. Work with the process owners to devise and implement remediation action.
6. Devise and implement the controls and assurance plan on the IT systems that support the primary processes. Devise and implement the controls and assurance plan for the key third-party providers to the primary processes.
7. Perform risk assessment and controls testing to support other Financial Governance activities, as per business requirements.
8. Support external auditors in obtaining the information they need to complete their duties, either by directly answering their queries or working with other internal stakeholders.
