Financial and procurement reviews

• Examine expenses, reimbursements, payroll changes, commissions, referral fees, vendor payments, and company credit card transactions.

• Check vendor legitimacy, pricing, contracts, and potential related-party relationships.

• Assess whether purchasing, payment approval, and payment release are appropriately separated.

Hiring fairness and conflicts of interest

• Review whether hiring, compensation, promotions, and disciplinary decisions follow documented criteria and approval requirements.

• Assess disclosures involving family, romantic, household, or financial relationships.

• Identify undisclosed conflicts, favoritism, improper influence, and failures to recuse from decisions.

• Review recruiter referral arrangements and potential preferential treatment of candidates or vendors.

• Recommend safeguards for disclosed relationships and monitor approved exceptions.

Investigations and confidential reporting

• Receive and assess concerns through designated confidential reporting channels.

• Conduct Owner-authorized investigations into suspected fraud, kickbacks, policy violations, or retaliation.

• Maintain objective evidence and restrict sensitive information to authorized individuals.

• Coordinate with external legal, HR, accounting, or technical specialists when needed.

Reporting and corrective action

• Report findings directly to the Owner, including evidence, risk level, root cause, and recommended action.

• Promptly escalate significant suspected misconduct, material losses, or interference with audit work.

• Maintain a corrective-action tracker with responsible persons and deadlines.

• Verify remediation before closing findings.

• Provide monthly updates and quarterly summaries of recurring risks.

Independence and Authority

• May access company records, systems, personnel, and premises necessary for authorized reviews, subject to applicable confidentiality and access requirements.

• Covers all management levels within the approved audit scope.

• Discloses personal conflicts and does not audit work they performed or decisions they approved.

• Recommends improvements but does not own the processes, approve routine transactions, or make employment decisions being audited.

• Escalates matters involving the Owner to a designated independent external adviser under an established protocol.

• At least three years of relevant internal audit, external audit, forensic accounting, or internal controls experience.
