The Global Controls Office (GCO), within the Chief Accountant's Department, supports the Controller and Chief Accountant in fulfilling their controllership mandate. The GCO leads the Bank’s Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) and disclosure controls programs, providing guidance, monitoring progress, and forming conclusions that support executive certifications. We also set policies governing financial reporting controls and oversee compliance with these policies, aiming to control financial reporting risks across the organization and promote accuracy.

• Strengthen the Bank’s overall internal control environment and policies related to governance of financial reporting.
• Act as a subject matter expert on financial reporting controls, providing timely advice to process and control owners and other stakeholders.
• Prepare assessments on risks and controls and identify any gaps requiring remediation.
• Provide expert advice on policy requirements and implementation considerations.
• Ensure stakeholders are trained in policy and guideline requirements, overseeing compliance with these policies.
• Execute the annual ICFR program activities including risk assessments, planning, control attestation, findings analysis, and ongoing client communications.
• Keep abreast of emerging issues, trends, and regulatory requirements and assess their potential impact on the Bank’s financial reporting controls policies and the ICFR program.
• Develop and manage working relationships with key business partners and stakeholder groups, both internally (e.g., Segment Finance, Finance Operations, Governance and Control, Technology and Internal Audit) and externally (auditors).
• Champion financial and internal controls to drive continuous improvement within the Bank – streamline and standardize processes.
• Contribute to and promote positive working relationships by effectively communicating and regularly sharing information, learning, and knowledge with the team.
• Lead and/or participate in group activities aimed at improving efficiency and effectiveness of the GCO processes and methodology.

• Professional accounting or auditing designation is required (CPA, CA, CGA, CIA).
• 5 – 7 years of experience in an accounting/finance/audit role with solid internal controls and financial governance experience.
• IT Audit experience or technology certification would be an asset (e.g., CISA, CGEIT, CRISC, CISM).
• Financial industry experience would be considered a strong asset.
• Demonstrated ability to think conceptually and formulate policy decisions commensurate with the risks involved.
• Ability to consider practical application of policies and standards given business-related specifics.

• Demonstrated ability to build effective and collaborative working relationships with cross-functional teams and business partners.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to anticipate issues, identify opportunities, and recommend solutions.

• Must demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to articulate complex matters simply and clearly to stakeholders at various levels.
• Knowledge and experience with mapping of data movement and lineage within an organization.
