A strategic opportunity at the heart of Desjardins Group💚The Desjardins Group Monitoring Office 💚 is evolving to transform its internal audit function and adopt a more agile, innovative and strategic approach. As a member of the Insurance and Wealth Management Monitoring Department, you’ll serve as a high-level expert on Canada-wide mandates that have a major impact on risk control, governance and the achievement of organizational objectives.

Finally, you will ensure ongoing monitoring of wealth management risks to help update the audit plan and prioritize high-impact mandates. More specifically, you will be required to:

• Plan and carry out internal auditing work in accordance with the agile audit plan
• Assess the effectiveness and efficiency of governance, risk management and control processes
• Analyze complex environments and make valuable recommendations
• Present findings and opinions to managers, departments and committees
