The Project Associate's Role and Responsibilities

The project associate will be evaluating the design and performance of internal controls, which includes assessing the controls' effectiveness at mitigating risk.

The project associate will work as a control assessor (assessor) who will assess controls by performing evidence-based control evaluations. The assessor will work with a control coordinator and team alongside specific business groups or functions at the client. Assessors will need to be able to work independently on specific controls unless a coordinator decides otherwise (for example, due to control complexity or multiple specialized skills required).

This role will be responsible for the following:

  • Confirm control evaluation details and compile business specific documentation
  • Determine whether key controls are or will be effective at reducing or mitigating operational risk
  • Review the documentation of the control, conduct a walkthrough of the associated control
  • Assess the control against defined control design criteria (e.g., adequacy and completeness)
  • Determine whether the control operates to a level of repeatable precision
  • Determine control performance, and develop and execute test scripts
  • Demonstrate understanding of business processes, risk management, internal controls, and related regulatory and compliance standards
  • Identify and evaluate business and related regulatory risks and internal controls which mitigate risks, and related opportunities for business process and control improvement
  • Use problem solving and critical thinking skills to quickly identify business process improvements and regulatory control deficiencies, and evaluate their risk implications
  • Perform business process assessments and business process mapping, including developing, implementing, and providing credible challenge for compliance and risk management processes and controls to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across lines of business
  • Design and/or provide input to design of controls to align with business processes and regulatory requirements
  • Understand systems and tools for business process mapping and internal control design and management
  • Facilitate use of technology-based tools or methodologies to analyze, design, and/or implement business processes and controls
  • Understand client's business environments and basic risk management approaches
