The Group Internal Controls team was established to address key finance control priorities and controls over the IT environment which include both general IT and segregation of duties controls. Collectively, this has driven a group-wide internal controls transformation and enhancement programme to support the business meet requirements in readiness for UK Corporate Reform ("UK SOX"). The scope of the programme includes implementing and embedding a standardised financial and IT control framework, enabling this through a group-wide technology platform, executing the annual Internal Controls testing plan, and driving remediation in a pragmatic way identifying opportunities to standardise and automate processes to enable enhanced standards to be achieved efficiently and sustainability. This is a high-profile role within the business. The ideal candidate is comfortable in operating in an environment where there isn't a pre-existing "playbook", putting their experience into practice to closely work with the Smiths business to achieve practical, pragmatic and sustainable improvements in internal controls. The role holder will work closely with the IT function (BIS), divisional and site IT teams, and external stakeholders (e.g., consultants and external auditors) in advancing the organisation's use of AI & Analytics tools to meet control requirements and implement all the tools, techniques, and resources to ensure these are met sustainably. The ideal candidate for this position will have prior experience of delivering AI & Analytics solutions in the internal audit and internal control fields for a large corporation or as a consultant with a top-tier practice firm. In addition, they will have experience designing and implementing General IT and automated controls leveraging technology, standardisation, and continuous improvement. You will master excellent AI and data analytics skills, hold a qualification with CISA/CISM or similar and preferably be a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA) with experience with external audit. If you have experience with internal control programmes within a SOX environment that will be highly desirable.
