Role overview

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

Your role in the team

The Auditor – SOX & Controls drives key portions of risk-based audits, managing workstreams from initial scoping and planning through control testing and issue reporting. Acting as a vital link between audit leadership, junior team members, and business stakeholders, this role ensures alignment, clarity, and compliance throughout the audit engagement lifecycle—including adherence to professional standards and SOX requirements.

With increasing autonomy, the Auditor contributes to audit strategy by applying business process expertise and a modern approach, incorporating Agile-based methodologies and emerging technologies such as generative AI to enhance audit quality. The consultant also plays a key role in mentoring junior auditors, fostering collaboration, and driving efficiency and insight across audit engagements.

Key responsibilities

• Drive and manage end-to-end testing for assigned audit segments, such as process reviews, compliance assessments, or operational control audits.

• Facilitate scoping workshops and risk-ranking sessions to determine audit coverage, using established risk and control frameworks.

• Develop tailored audit test procedures that incorporate policy requirements, business process reviews, and data analysis.

• Review and validate evidence from source documents, workflows, reports, and stakeholder-provided documentation to support control evaluation.

• Use data-driven methods—such as trend analysis or segmentation—leveraging tools like Excel, Power BI, or SQL to identify potential control weaknesses or anomalies; collaborate with data specialists on more complex analysis when needed.

• Apply structured prompt techniques to use generative AI for drafting audit findings, testing logic, or summarizing risk insights.

• Present findings and recommendations to audit leadership, supported by documented evidence, risk ratings, and proposed remediation options.

• Mentor junior staff on test procedures, documentation standards, and productive stakeholder engagement.

• Coordinate issue validation and remediation testing for prior findings, including follow-up on supporting evidence and closure documentation.

• Engage with business leaders to align on issue scope, agree on remediation timelines, and confirm ownership.

• Contribute to audit planning by identifying recurring themes, emerging risks, and opportunities for cross-functional collaboration.
