• Develop and maintain the Annual Audit Plan based on risk assessments, regulatory requirements, and the evolution of CloudWalk’s products, processes, and technologies.
• Conduct audits across different domains, including technology, IT general controls (ITGC), cybersecurity, data governance, financial products, business processes, operations, and risk management structures.
• Assess the effectiveness of the internal control environment, identifying deficiencies, risk exposures, and opportunities for automation, efficiency gains, and process improvement.
• Prepare clear and objective audit reports, presenting well-supported conclusions and practical recommendations to strengthen the control environment and governance.
• Partner with business, technology, product, compliance, and risk teams to define, implement, and monitor action plans resulting from audits.
• Identify emerging risks related to new technologies, artificial intelligence, new products, regulatory changes, and market trends, incorporating these perspectives into audit planning and execution.
• Promote the continuous evolution of the Internal Audit function by implementing methodologies, automation tools, data analytics, and continuous monitoring to make audits more efficient and intelligence-driven.
• Act as a strategic partner to leadership, providing independent assessments of risks, controls, and governance, and contributing to CloudWalk’s sustainable growth.
