- Manage the PB global internal control and governance framework, including setting standards for key control activities and optimization of SOX and non-SOX process through leading the platform onto a risk-based approach for control activities, identification of emerging risk areas, and maintaining an overall strong internal control environment.
- Establish the team as the key platform financial control conduit for regional and global functional teams, not limited to Performance Management, Business Advisory, Accounting Policy, External Reporting, Head Office Finance, and Group Risk Management.
- Enable and deepen relationships with the business and other key stakeholders (e.g., LOB financial control, Performance Management, IT, Risk Management, Accounting Policy, Tax, Capital and other Enterprise Finance partners) striving to be a center of knowledge and excellence for PB and own accountability in resolving all platform finance-related issues.
