Who is the Internal Auditor?

You will act as an essential third line of defense against possible money laundering; the ability to spot minute anomalies, and small details is a big deal for your role.

You can quickly, efficiently, and accurately review and manipulate data in search of any shortcomings that require remediation across the company. Your reports and actions will play a crucial role of the on-going development of Paxum’s Risk Based Approach.
