Apply working knowledge of anti‑corruption, AML, and retail regulatory requirements.
Understand obligations linked to fuel distribution, tobacco controls, lottery/gaming, and age‑restricted sales.
Integrate compliance expectations into investigations and recommendations.

Develop clear, actionable remediation plans following investigation findings, addressing root causes and control gaps.
Track progress until full closure and escalate risks or delays appropriately.
Support development or revision of policies, SOPs, controls, and training materials tied to investigation outcomes.

Reporting, Audit Cycle Support & Compliance Governance
Support Internal Audit with data, recurrent themes, systemic vulnerabilities, and evidence needed for scheduled reviews.
Contribute to enterprise‑level compliance reports, board/executive briefings, and compliance maturity assessments.
Ensure documentation meets legal, regulatory, and internal quality standards.
