The testers will assess whether the solution has appropriate controls over data integrity, AI-generated recommendations, journal-entry processing, human oversight, access, monitoring, and change management before or during production implementation.
This role requires strong financial controls testing, reconciliation, journal-entry, and data-analysis experience.

Trace selected outputs to trading systems, finance systems, supporting records, and the general ledger.
Independently reperform selected P&L reconciliations and adjustment calculations.
Determine whether AI-generated recommendations are accurate, explainable, and supported by sufficient evidence.
Test whether appropriate human review and approval occurred before financial adjustments were posted.
Review segregation of duties between solution developers, Finance preparers, reviewers, and posting approvers.
Evaluate access controls, override capabilities, privileged access, and activity logging.
Review AI performance monitoring, including false positives, false negatives, overrides, and unsuccessful recommendations.
Test change-management controls over rules, prompts, workflows, models, and system configurations.
Document audit procedures, evidence, exceptions, and conclusions in accordance with internal audit standards.
Support issue validation, root-cause analysis, and discussions with Finance, Technology, Controllers, and AI governance stakeholders.
