The Calumet Internal Audit team is focused on growing our capabilities for overall Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance while also moving into emerging risk areas for the Company. Our mission is to assist Calumet in achieving its objectives by implementing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the organization’s risk management, control, and governance processes.

Additionally, the Senior Internal Auditor is responsible for executing and performing financial compliance audits, coordinating with the external auditors, completing special audit projects, and preparing materials for the Director of Internal Audit. This includes identifying emerging risk areas and assessing the overall audit universe for input into the annual audit risk assessment process.
