  • Develop and present recommendations for improvements in operational and financial systems and controls, both verbally and in writing. Develop and execute follow up mechanisms with accounting, operations and Senior Management of the businesses to ensure that recommendations are implemented as agreed upon.
  • Report results of inadequate internal control and provide input into policy and procedure development.
  • Documenting policies and procedures, and identifying and assessing best practices for distribution to the Company’s businesses as applicable.
  • Perform physical inventory counts (on a spot check basis) for newly acquired businesses or during business reviews, perform reconciliation, compile and report count results.
  • Perform risk assessment and financial statements audits of the opening balance sheets for newly acquired businesses; identify and propose adjustments and internal control recommendations, and provide support to the business as part of the onboarding process. Also, work with various departments (e.g. finance, tax, and acquisition team) to ensure deliveries are completed by the internal and financial reporting deadlines.
  • Training and educating the businesses on internal controls, both during and after the completion of internal audits to ensure a sound internal control environment. Provide guidance to businesses on complex accounting topics (such as IFRS 16).
  • Review adequacy of controls for IT management systems to ensure validity and security of information, as well as adherence to established policies and procedures.
  • Assist with drafting the annual internal audit plan and compiling the quarterly internal audit updates to the Audit Committee (including compliance with Nl 52-109 corporate governance regulations).
  • Monitor and evaluate relevant updates provided by Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) and Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and provide recommendations and guidance to the Company Finance team to enhance continuous disclosure of publicly filed documents.
  • Support and assist the Company’s external auditors in the completion of the year-end audit.
  • Perform special projects (e.g. incident reporting reviews, fraud investigations, operational projects) as requested by Company Senior Management.
