Partner with control owners to document, assess, and improve key business processes and internal controls. Coordinate management's annual SOX assessment and support external audit requirements to ensure timely completion. Evaluate control deficiencies, facilitate root cause analysis, and drive remediation efforts through successful closure. Monitor regulatory developments and evolving best practices to continuously enhance the SOX program.
