  • Challenge material judgments, evidence gaps, inconsistent practices, and premature closures; escalate significant concerns.
  • Enhance QC methodology, sampling, calibration, documentation, and performance indicators across audit portfolios.
  • Direct thematic assessments of validation outcomes and embed lessons learned through partnerships with Issue Management and audit leadership.

Regulatory Engagement, Governance, and Reporting

  • Serve as a senior contact for regulators and other stakeholders on IAG quality assurance and quality control practices.
  • Report QA/QC coverage, findings, corrective actions, closure risks, trends, and improvement progress to IAG leadership, audit committees, bank affiliate oversight management, and governance forums.
  • Coordinate External Quality Assurance Reviews (EQAR), external assessments, and regulatory examinations, ensuring reliable and traceable supporting documentation.
  • Lead independent validation and coordination of IAG-owned regulatory findings, including third-party work as applicable.
  • Monitor evolving IIA Standards, regulatory expectations, and industry practices and incorporate relevant enhancements.

Continuous Improvement and People Leadership

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
