Utilize data analytics and relevant tools to support audit testing and evaluation.

Communicate audit results, findings, and recommendations clearly and professionally.

Strong knowledge of IT risks, controls, and audit methodologies, including ITGCs.

Demonstrated ability to assess unfamiliar systems, processes, or control environments and develop appropriate audit procedures.
