• Monitor changes in regulatory frameworks and proactively update internal processes to maintain compliance with new rules and standards.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the reporting function by identifying inefficiencies, implementing best practices, and leveraging technology solutions.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external auditors and regulators during inspections or reviews related to regulatory reporting activities.
• Develop robust controls and governance frameworks to mitigate risks associated with regulatory reporting errors or omissions.
