Jarrett Morton
@jarrettmorton
IT internal controls professional focused on SOX ITGC testing, risk assessment, and automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT internal controls professional with 15+ years across financial services, focused on SOX IT General Controls, control design, IT risk assessment, and remediation. I bring a practical, audit-ready approach that strengthens financial-reporting system integrity.
At GE Capital, I contributed SOX 302/404 control testing and validation for a $10B portfolio, partnering with IT and compliance teams to improve control effectiveness. I also directed remediation testing and coordinated evidence for external auditors (Deloitte & Touche) during a federally mandated compliance program.
I’m known for driving measurable results through automation and disciplined documentation. I reduced field-level errors 17% using VBA-based reconciliation automation, and supported root-cause remediation work that reduced operational losses 14%.
Today, I’m building on that foundation with hands-on ITGC workpapers and automation end-to-end (Python, JavaScript, Zapier, Notion), with human-in-the-loop validation to keep controls reliable. I’m also pursuing CISA and have completed IT Audit Fundamentals (20 CPE) and IT Auditing and GRC Bootcamp (5 CPE).
