Mutio ROBERT
@mutiorobert
I’m a senior IT and financial audit professional focused on SOX/JSOX, ITGC testing, and enterprise risk controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic IT and financial audit professional with extensive experience in JSOX/SOX compliance, ITGC testing, information security, and enterprise risk management. I evaluate technology risks, implement internal controls, and align governance frameworks such as COBIT, COSO, GDPR, and NIST with organizational objectives. I’m recognized for simplifying complex technical concepts, mentoring teams, and driving continuous improvement in fast-paced environments.
As a Senior Compliance Analyst, I lead JSOX compliance assessments across financial and IT processes, ensuring alignment with Japan-SOX internal control requirements and strengthening global audit readiness. I execute ITGC and application control testing—assessing access management, change management, and IT operations controls—then update and validate control narratives, walkthroughs, and RCMs for accuracy and audit completeness. I also partner cross-functionally to track remediation and develop dashboards that monitor control performance, emerging risks, and audit progress.
In prior roles, I enforced least-privilege through User Access Reviews (UAR), analyzed Segregation of Duties (SOD) risks, and strengthened governance through Entity-Level Controls (ELC). I’ve performed in-depth database security reviews to identify vulnerabilities and recommend corrective actions. I collaborate closely with external auditors—providing evidence, clarifying control design, and resolving audit inquiries to support timely completion.
Earlier in my career, I conducted IT risk assessments and evaluated internal controls across diverse industries, including SOX, GDPR, and cybersecurity audits. I delivered audit findings and risk reports by translating technical insights into actionable recommendations, and I designed security measures that reduced fraud. Throughout my journey, I’ve stayed committed to continuous professional development, inclusive team culture, and impactful stakeholder communication.
