  • Performing walkthroughs, documenting processes and testing design/operating effectiveness of internal controls.
  • Planning and performing advisory services, which aim to improve various internal processes at FIFA and to enhance efficiency, effectiveness and business growth opportunities.
  • Producing formal audit and advisory reports to communicate results and observations to management in a comprehensive and understandable manner. 
  • Independently managing follow-up of open audit observations and facilitating agreement with business process owners to ensure timely closure of action plans (with assistance of semi-automated online tools).
