ROLE POSITIONING:

• - Act not as a “process police,” but as an identifier of operational risks and a verifier of management effectiveness.
• - Focus on six key risk domains: Money, Goods, People, Authority, Books, and Truth.
• - Drive closed-loop improvements through thematic audits to enhance business integrity and operational efficiency.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:

• - Develop a quarterly operational risk map for the country business.
• - Prioritize high-risk and high-value areas, including channel rebates, inventory pushing, receivables, procurement, promotion effectiveness, etc.
• - Conduct at least one high-quality thematic audit per month, focusing on business substance rather than routine checklist-based reviews.

• - Audit expenses, rebates, and subsidy programs to verify whether benefits genuinely reach customers and whether sell-out performance aligns with related policies.
• - Review inventory practices, cross-region diversion, channel stuffing, and fake sales activities to assess overall sales quality.
• - Audit procurement and service provider selection processes, identify potential conflicts of interest, and evaluate transparency in resource allocation.

3. PROCESS EFFECTIVENESS TESTING

• - Verify whether key controls and processes — including approvals, contracts, credit management, and exception reporting — are effectively implemented in practice, not merely documented on paper.
• - Identify root causes of process failures, distinguishing between non-compliance issues and ineffective process design.

4. DRIVE CLOSURE & BUSINESS IMPACT

• - For each audit finding, clearly define: risk impact (revenue / profit / cash flow / inventory / trust), accountable department/ function, corrective actions, Target completion timeline & Re-check and verification approach
• - Monitor closure progress and drive actions to prevent recurrence of identified issues.

5. INDEPENDENT REPORTING & SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATION

• - Escalate Category A issues (e.g., fraud, conflicts of interest, major operational risks) directly to the Line Manager when required.
