I need an experienced audit contractor who can step in remotely and take full ownership of control testing for a manufacturing business. The assignment concentrates on compliance and operational-efficiency controls in a SOX-aligned environment, so deep familiarity with walk-throughs, sampling, and deficiency analysis is essential. You will receive policies, procedures, and supporting evidence straight from our team. Your task is to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of each control, flag shortcomings, and compile clear workpapers that withstand review. When documentation is missing or inadequate, you’ll note it promptly and request what you need so testing stays on schedule. What I’m looking for • A minimum of five years performing internal or external audits focused on control testing. • Comfort working within a manufacturing setting and interpreting compliance requirements that go beyond pure financial reporting. • Sharp documentation skills—your workpapers should tell the full story without extra explanation. • A CPA, CIA, or CISA adds weight but is not mandatory. Key deliverables • A complete workpaper set for every control assigned (my template will be provided). • An up-to-date evidence request log that tracks outstanding items. • A deficiency register that ranks issues by risk and suggests remediations. • A concise findings summary for me as audit lead. All work is remote; communication will be through Teams and SharePoint. If you have the discipline to dig deep into compliance and operational efficiency controls and present crystal-clear documentation, I’m ready to share the first batch of test items with you. Initially with start with 20 hours per a week.
