For each of the above, you will:
Use and develop critical tools such as risk assessments, audit programs, and testing/review procedures so you can identify risk, tailor work appropriately, reach conclusions, and explore solutions.
Lead and execute fieldwork to prepare high-quality workpapers summarizing procedures performed.

Promote innovative and forward-looking problem solving to target root cause; provide recommendations contributing to operational excellence.
Leverage your creativity to organize and present key project information through a variety of communication methods and tools, focusing on high-impact, high-value deliverables.

Finally, we like to have fun , whether this be celebrating our internal team accomplishments, participating in the wealth of company activities (e.g., yoga, quarterly communications meetings, breakfast with leadership), or giving back to our communities through hands-on service.
Who you are:
You are genuinely inquisitive. You want to understand key components of a process and you leverage the right questions and tools to absorb and analyze facts, identify problems, and recommend improvements.
You’re organized. You have a knack for planning and execution – from the initial identification of objectives to structuring a work plan for execution. This sets you up for success when managing multiple projects concurrently to meet deadlines and deliver on customer commitments.
You communicate clearly and effectively – both in written and verbal scenarios. Not only does this help you effectively convey your message in various settings, but it also helps showcase your subject matter expertise and drive consensus in decision-making.
And if all of that was not enough, you also model and encourage teamwork, inclusion, and diverse viewpoints. These leadership traits allow you to motivate and persuade others (including associates in Audit Services and business partners across the organization), even without authority.
