Job Description
Why join us
This is a newly created role with real independence and a direct line to the President. You'll build the audit function from the ground up, shape how we use data and AI to protect the business, and see your recommendations turn into lasting change across a growing North American company.
If you're the kind of person who notices what others miss and has the integrity to act on it, we'd like to hear from you.
As we grow, we want every dollar, product and system to be protected as carefully as the brand we've built. That's where you come in. You'll be the person who follows the money, the inventory and the data. As our Internal Auditor, you'll independently review how cash, assets and information move through Techo-Bloc, so we can catch fraud, theft, misappropriation, policy violations, errors and control weaknesses early, and make sure they get fixed.
You'll sit outside day-to-day ERP operations, which gives you the distance to review our controls objectively, including user access in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365). Rather than waiting for problems to surface, you'll proactively review high-risk areas and dig into anomalies when they appear.
Your mandate
- Reporting line: You report directly to the President.
- Scope: You work across the whole company, every department, site and process.
- Access: You have unrestricted access to the records, systems, sites and people you need to do the job.
- Confidentiality: You handle sensitive matters with strict discretion.
- Reporting: You deliver a monthly findings dashboard to leadership.
What you'll do
Your work will touch every part of the business. Here's what that looks like by area :
Banking & cash : Bank activity, reconciliations, transfers, payments, cheques, online banking access, signing authorities and cash handling at our locations.
Purchasing & vendors: Sourcing, bids, contracts, approval compliance, vendor onboarding and vendor master-file changes. You'll watch for favouritism, conflicts of interest, related parties and duplicate vendors.
Payroll : Ghost employees, unauthorized pay changes, terminated employees still on payroll, unusual overtime and manual adjustments.
Cards & expenses : Corporate cards and expense claims: policy compliance, missing receipts, personal purchases, duplicate reimbursements, unusual merchants and excessive spending.
Sales, credits & rebates : Customer credits, returns, discounts, pricing overrides, dealer rebates, commissions and warranty claims.
Operations & assets : Inventory movements, deliveries, adjustments, write-offs, shrinkage and obsolete stock, as well as vehicles, fuel cards, equipment and tools.
Marketing, promotions & IT : Marketing funds, sponsorships, events, samples, promotional merchandise and giveaways; custody and disposal of IT equipment; software licences, subscriptions, access and renewals.
Fraud prevention and investigations
Across all of these areas, you'll:
- Identify process and control gaps that could allow theft or misappropriation of funds or assets.
- Review D365 controls, including user access, roles, segregation of duties and master-data changes, and give input on control-related ERP improvements.
- Plan and conduct risk-based audits, forensic reviews and investigations.
- Use AI-assisted analysis to spot gaps, anomalies and trends in the data.
- Report root causes, financial impact and clear recommendations.
- Follow up to make sure corrective actions are actually completed.
Your first year
We want you to have a clear picture of success from day one.
- In your first 60 days, you'll learn how the business works, build relationships across departments and sites, and complete a fraud and asset-protection risk assessment.
- By month 4, you'll have established the risk-based audit plan, the monthly findings dashboard and a corrective-action process that the business follows.
Qualifications
- A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, auditing, business, criminology or a related field.
- A CFE, CPA or CIA designation is preferred.
- 5+ years of experience in internal audit, fraud investigation, forensic accounting, risk or compliance.
- Solid knowledge of fraud investigation, internal controls and governance, and of finance, procurement, payroll and asset-management processes.
- Strong data analysis, investigative interviewing and fact-based reporting skills.
- Advanced Excel and ERP skills (required), including a working understanding of ERP user access, roles and segregation of duties.
- Fluent in French; English is required to serve the business, our clients and our US operations.
- Experience using AI-assisted analysis and recurring scripts across D365 and other reports is preferred.
- Experience in manufacturing, construction materials or distribution is an asset.
- Experience with Power BI, IDEA or ACL is an asset.
