Associate Director, Internal Audit Professional Practices

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like equal-opportunity, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines. Also remove "Overview" maybe part of About the role? The overview paragraph can go under About the role heading. The "Responsibilities" heading: we have responsibilities list. Use

• . The "Qualifications" heading: includes Education, Training and Requirements. Also maybe "Experience" etc. The "Skills" heading: list of skills. The "Benefits" heading: we have benefits list. The "Pay" heading: we have compensation range: Minimum USD $92,000.00/Yr. Maximum USD $160,592.00/Yr. Also mention "Compensation: Commensurate with experience plus potential for annual merit increase." Since we need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state min and max, so include Pay. Also mention "Other Job Information Compensation: Commensurate with experience plus potential for annual merit increase." We'll include that as prose maybe. The "Schedule" heading: not present; no schedule info. So omit Schedule. Also "About the role" heading: we have overview paragraph. Also maybe "Physical Requirements" could be part of Requirements? But we have a Requirements section maybe includes Education etc. Physical requirements maybe part of Requirements but we can include as a subsection? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements heading for things like physical demands? But we have "Physical Requirements" paragraph. That could go under Requirements. Also "Other Job Information" maybe not needed. We'll include Requirements heading with education, experience, physical requirements. Also we have "Qualifications" heading separate? Actually the posting has "Qualifications Education, Training and Requirements:" and then "Skills". So we could treat "Qualifications" as education and experience, and "Skills" as skills list. We'll follow typical: Requirements maybe includes education and experience; Qualifications maybe includes certifications? But we have CIA required. Let's parse: - Education, Training and Requirements: B.S. or B.A. degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration or related field and CIA required. All applicants must be 18 years of age or older - Skills: list. - Experience: Ten or more years’ of progressive financial, operational and compliance audit experience, with focus on financial services including banking, wealth management, insurance, and/or employee benefit plan administration. Management of professional practices or quality assurance and improvement programs experience required. Financial service experience in mid-size banking, i.e., $25 billion and larger. - Travel: Position may require travel - Other Job Information Compensation: ... - Physical Requirements: ... Thus we could have sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (education, experience, travel, physical requirements), Qualifications (maybe CIA required? but that's already in education), Skills, Benefits, Pay. But we must not create thin sections. Let's decide: - About the role: overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of essential responsibilities and ancillary duties. - Requirements: education (degree, CIA, age), experience (years, focus, management, mid-size banking), travel, physical requirements. - Skills: list of skills. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Pay: min/max and note about commensurate with experience + merit increase. We should not include "Qualifications" separate if we already covered education/experience under Requirements. But the instruction list includes Qualifications as a possible heading; we can omit if not needed. However we have "Qualifications Education, Training and Requirements:" which is essentially same as Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could treat that as Requirements. The posting also has "Qualifications" heading but we can merge. We must preserve all substantive info; we must not lose CIA requirement, age requirement, etc. Let's extract details. Overview paragraph: "At Community Financial System, Inc. (CFSI), we are dedicated to providing our customers with friendly, personalized, high-quality financial services and products. Our retail division, Community Bank, N.A., operates more than 200 customer facilities across Upstate New York, Northeastern Pennsylvania, Vermont and Western Massachusetts. Beyond retail banking, we also offer commercial banking, wealth management, investment management, insurance and risk management, and benefit plan administration. Just as our employees are committed to helping our customers manage their finances, we’re committed to our employees. After all, they make it happen for our customers every day. To ensure our people can enjoy long and successful careers here at CFSI, we offer competitive compensation, great benefits, and professional development and advancement opportunities. As an equal-opportunity workplace and affirmative-action employer, we celebrate and support a diverse workplace for the benefit of all: our employees, customers and communities." We need to remove EEO boilerplate. The last sentence about equal-opportunity is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also earlier sentence about "As an equal-opportunity workplace..." is boilerplate. So we should remove those sentences. Keep the rest. Thus About the role paragraph: "At Community Financial System, Inc. (CFSI), we are dedicated to providing our customers with friendly, personalized, high-quality financial services and products. Our retail division, Community Bank, N.A., operates more than 200 customer facilities across Upstate New York, Northeastern Pennsylvania, Vermont and Western Massachusetts. Beyond retail banking, we also offer commercial banking, wealth management, investment management, insurance and risk management, and benefit plan administration. Just as our employees are committed to helping our customers manage their finances, we’re committed to our employees. After all, they make it happen for our customers every day. To ensure our people can enjoy long and successful careers here at CFSI, we offer competitive compensation, great benefits, and professional development and advancement opportunities." Now Responsibilities: list of essential responsibilities and ancillary duties. We'll combine. Essential Responsibilities bullet list (the long list). Also "Ancillary Duties" paragraph. We'll output as

  • each item. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet as is. Let's list them: - Provide leadership over the QAIP to include Internal Audit departments standards, methodology and continuous improvement initiatives. - Execute Internal Quality Assessment Review and manage outsourcing of External Quality Assessment Review in accordance with IIA Global Standards and regulatory guidance, providing report on results and opportunities for improvement. - Maintain Internal Audit department policies and procedures (Audit Manual), update as required. - Provide guidance on Internal Audit methodology. - Support the execution of the annual risk assessment and audit planning processes. - Manage the department’s training program to ensure the team possesses the appropriate technical skills of a high performing department. - Manage the preparation of Department reporting to the Audit Committee, ensuring high quality documentation. - Monitor the issues remediation and reporting process. - Support the root cause analysis and reporting process. - Provide oversight to the audit program review process in accordance with policy, procedure, regulatory requirements and best practices, providing recommendation for process improvements. - Provide system administration/support to ensure audit workpaper application adheres to professional standards and regulatory guidance. - Monitor key performance and key risk indicators. - Stay abreast of emerging risks, regulatory changes and industry trends and communicate with the Director and audit team. - Establish effective, credible and appropriate working relationships with department personnel, company management and key stakeholders to build and maintain ongoing business relationships by utilizing strong interpersonal and communication skills. - Perform other duties, including special projects or handle specific administrative tasks as assigned or directed. - Foster a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth within the internal audit department. - Maintain proficient knowledge of, and demonstrate ongoing compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to this position, ensure ongoing adherence to pertinent policies, procedures, and internal controls, and meet all training requirements in a timely fashion. Ancillary Duties: "As an integral member of the Audit Department, this position is also responsible to provide assistance wherever necessary to help the Audit Department and the Bank in achieving their annual goals."

Experience: Ten or more years’ of progressive financial, operational and compliance audit experience, with focus on financial services including banking, wealth management, insurance, and/or employee benefit plan administration.

The employee may occasionally be required to lift and or move up to 25 pounds. Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, and the ability to focus.

We'll output as
    • . Benefits: list from "In addition to your competitive salary, you will be rewarded benefits including: 11 paid holidays, paid vacation, Medical, Vision & Dental insurance, 401K with generous match, Pension, Tuition Reimbursement, Banking discounts and the list goes on!" We'll output as

Actually benefits already covered. Pay section: Minimum USD $92,000.00/Yr. Maximum USD $160,592.00/Yr. Also mention "Compensation: Commensurate with experience plus potential for annual merit increase." We'll include that as prose. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, affirmative action, etc. Also remove "The Company is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Minimum USD $92,000.00/Yr. Maximum USD $160,592.00/Yr." we keep. Also remove "Physical Requirements The physical demands described here are representative..." we keep under Requirements. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

        and content. We must not include or . Just the fragment. Let's craft.
