Work closely with Global Shared Business Services (GSBS) and the wider business to formalise internal control responsibilities in certain roles, ensuring there are clear control leads throughout the Group.
Manage the ICFR programme on a daytoday basis ensuring progress is made and the deadlines are met, including completing the implementation of a minimum controls framework.
Define the ICFR risk and controls frameworks, producing and maintaining financial control policies.
