- Excellent verbal communication skills in both one on one and group situations.
- Ability to work collaboratively within a team and build effective working relationships across an organization.

**What you will be doing**:

- Assessing violations of CPAB’s Rules and professional standards by audit firms and conducting an analysis of the violations in accordance with CPAB’s risk based graduated regulatory intervention framework.
- Preparing and presenting reports outlining alleged violations, evidence gathered, and proposed enforcement action options.
- Collaborating and providing guidance and advice to CPAB inspectors.
- Drafting enforcement related documents and correspondence to audit firms, legal counsel and other external stakeholders.
- Assisting in the development and implementation of enforcement related policies and procedures.
- Assisting with data base maintenance and administration.

Sounds right?

The future audit environment will require an agile and progressive regulator keenly focused on improving audit quality and investor protection. Your ability to grow professionally is encouraged by an environment and culture focusing on workplace flexibility, innovation, continuous learning and engaging with professional leaders.

If you feel you have the right qualifications and would like to make a difference in maintaining the integrity of the financial markets in Canada and globally, while taking your career to the next level, we would like to hear from you.
