Audit Manager

What you'll be doing

The Audit Manager is responsible for conducting risk-focused audits; advising business units on the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls; and promoting compliance with CIBC policies and procedures, accounting standards, control policies, and applicable legislation within the Commercial & Corporate Banking portfolios including supporting other Internal Audit groups, as needed. The role applies advanced concepts to provide expertise in the development and completion of monthly audit reports, quarterly audit reports, and ongoing legal entity reports to key stakeholders.
