  • Prepare and present reports to the Group Audit Committee, Risk & Compliance Committee, and CFO, tracking the implementation of agreed actions.
  • Act as Whistleblower Investigations Officer and support investigations into internal or external fraud or misconduct.
  • Support ad-hoc reviews or special projects requested by the CFO or Audit Committee.
