Impact You'll Make

As part of our 2020 transformation journey, we became Global Audit & Advisory (GAA), formerly Internal Audit. The Global Audit & Advisory team is an independent and objective assurance function, performing consulting activity to add value to improve the operations of TU. GAA assists the organization in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the organization's risk management, control, and governance processes.

GAA collaborates with Business Unit and Functional leadership and their Associates in developing strong, professional and independent relationships to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the business to enable value added recommendations that improve efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, the group also maintains a strong collaboration with the company’s external auditor to perform management’s SOX testing activities in an efficient manner.
