• Review audit findings related to costs, define remediation plans, and ensure timely closure of all actions.

• Monitor cost-related processes to ensure compliance with contracts, and policy requirements.

• Identify inefficiencies, control gaps, or risk exposures within administrative processes and propose corrective actions.

• Lead initiatives to optimize cost processes, leveraging audit best practices and internal control insights.

• Promote ownership, accountability, and rigor across cost-related administrative activities.
