Audit related work is approximately 75% of the position, with the remaining 25% being other types of projects, reviews, analyses, or investigations (e.g., investigating potential fraud, performing balance sheet reviews, reviewing a global client staffing plan from a more operational process perspective or any other type of review requested by the Global CFO).
