SENIOR AUDITOR
A N N U A L S E L F - P E R F O R M A N C E R E V I E W
KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Over the past year, my primary focus was leading the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance
testing cycle and modernizing our departmental fieldwork processes. My most significant
accomplishment was transitioning our procure-to-pay (P2P) audit from manual sample
testing to full-population data analytics. By building custom workflows in Alteryx, I
enabled the team to test 100% of vendor transactions for duplicate payments and
authorization limit breaches. This not only provided greater assurance to the audit
committee but directly identified $45,000 in recoverable duplicate disbursements that
traditional sampling had missed.
Additionally, during the Q3 operational audit of the regional distribution center, I
identified a critical segregation of duties (SoD) conflict within the newly implemented
warehouse management system. I collaborated closely with IT and supply chain
leadership to design and implement compensating controls, remediating the vulnerability
just weeks before the external auditors arrived for their year-end substantive testing.
CORE COMPETENCIES & STRENGTHS
Stakeholder Communication & Diplomacy:
Delivering audit findings can often create
friction with process owners. I pride myself on maintaining a highly objective, yet
collaborative tone. I always ensure that management understands the root cause of a
control failure and view our team as advisory partners rather than internal police, which
has significantly improved the speed at which management action plans are implemented.
Risk-Based Agility:
I have a strong ability to pivot the audit scope when the risk landscape
changes. When supply chain disruptions hit in Q2, I proactively recommended adjusting
our audit plan to focus on vendor risk management and alternative sourcing controls,
ensuring our department's work remained highly relevant to the executive board's
immediate concerns.
