How you can plan to contribute meaningfully to the team’s success: The Financial Risk & Compliance Professional

is responsible for increasing operational efficiency by eliminating risks such as fraud and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. This is achieved by implementing and validating controls within all processes within Sandvik and following the internal control framework. If gaps in process controls and risks outside the framework are identified, then it would be your responsibility to recommend suitable changes to management. You would also be expected to work with the effected stakeholders to implement proper controls to mitigate the risk identified. You must be able to articulate what the risks are clearly so people of non-financial background can understand why it is important for them to improve their processes.

This is a hybrid position that would be out of one of our US or Canada locations. Risk Mitigation Activities

- Establish, direct and review all new and existing internal controls to ensure the risk is mitigated by following the internal control framework (as a minimum).

- Drive the development of internal controls and process improvements when gaps/risks have been identified (either by internal or external party).

- Drive the internal control culture to achieve a strong level of confidence.

- Periodically sample the evidence on controls you are not assigned as reviewer to ensure appropriate levels of testing is being completed

- Follow up internal audit findings and ensure action plans are addressed according to their deadlines.

- Complete half-yearly validation, known as quality assurance activities

- Review the internal control framework files for completeness and ensure all ineffective controls have a documented plan to address the issue.

Management & Reporting

- Generate reporting to management of internal control outcomes - providing insights into ineffective controls and briefly advise on items to be actioned.

- Look for ways to future proof our ways of working by using tools (such as AI & Power BI) to generate benefits to our processes
