• Lead or coordinate audit support volunteers such as account managers, distribution center personnel and participants from other areas of the company.
• Provide advisory support to distributors or management on inventory management best practices, compliance risks, or operational strategies based on audit data.
• Prepare reports or presentations on audit results, financial impacts (e.g., lost implants), or compliance status for distributors and senior leadership, with recommendations that influence decisions.
• Negotiate and resolve disputes with distributors on inventory accountability.
• Maintain accurate documentation of audit activities and results to support internal reviews and external inspections.
