You'll also support investigations into suspected fraud or theft, partnering with Internal Audit, Risk, People & Culture and Legal teams to gather evidence, analyse data and deliver reports that can withstand scrutiny. Using data analytics and emerging AI-enabled insights, you'll help identify trends, anomalies and opportunities to strengthen controls and drive continuous improvement across the business.
