Position Summary

The organization is seeking two experienced Finance Audit Testers to support an audit of a new agentic AI solution being deployed within the Institutional Securities Finance function. The solution is intended to automate daily P&L reconciliations, investigate reconciliation exceptions, recommend resolutions, and potentially initiate financial adjustment postings.

The testers will assess whether the solution has appropriate controls over data integrity, AI-generated recommendations, journal-entry processing, human oversight, access, monitoring, and change management before or during production implementation.

This role requires strong financial controls testing, reconciliation, journal-entry, and data-analysis experience.

Validate the completeness and accuracy of data inputs feeding the AI solution.

Select samples of AI-generated reconciliation results and adjustment recommendations.

Trace selected outputs to trading systems, finance systems, supporting records, and the general ledger.

Independently reperform selected P&L reconciliations and adjustment calculations.

Determine whether AI-generated recommendations are accurate, explainable, and supported by sufficient evidence.

Test whether appropriate human review and approval occurred before financial adjustments were posted.

Review segregation of duties between solution developers, Finance preparers, reviewers, and posting approvers.

Evaluate access controls, override capabilities, privileged access, and activity logging.

Review AI performance monitoring, including false positives, false negatives, overrides, and unsuccessful recommendations.

Test change-management controls over rules, prompts, workflows, models, and system configurations.

Document audit procedures, evidence, exceptions, and conclusions in accordance with internal audit standards.

Support issue validation, root-cause analysis, and discussions with Finance, Technology, Controllers, and AI governance stakeholders.

Four or more years of experience in internal audit, external audit, Finance controls, product control, or Controller functions.

Experience testing P&L reconciliations, balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, or financial close controls.
