The Compliance Assurance Manager – Audit is responsible for overseeing and managing all external audit activity conducted in compliance with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which the company operates. This role serves as the primary internal point of accountability for regulatory audit engagements, coordinating across business units to ensure the timely and accurate collection of audit evidence and the effective management of findings through remediation. The Compliance Assurance Manager will work closely with external audit firms, internal stakeholders, and compliance leadership to facilitate audit readiness and support a culture of continuous improvement. During lower-volume audit cycle periods, this role will also contribute to Assurance Monitoring activities in collaboration with the broader Monitoring Team. This role is well-suited for a compliance professional with a strong audit background, exceptional organizational skills, and the ability to manage complex, cross-functional engagements in a fast-paced, regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the full lifecycle of external regulatory audit engagements—from planning and scoping through evidence collection, fieldwork coordination, findings review, and final report closure.

• Serve as the internal liaison between external audit firms and business stakeholders, facilitating information requests and ensuring audit deliverables are met on time.

• Proactively engage departments across the organization—including Operations, Finance, IT, Legal, and Responsible Gaming—to gather, organize, and validate audit evidence prior to fieldwork.

• Review evidence packages for completeness and accuracy before submission to auditors, reducing findings attributable to documentation deficiencies.

• Track and manage audit findings from issuance through remediation, collaborating with Management Action Plan (MAP) owners to validate corrective actions within committed timelines.

• Maintain a centralized log of open findings and remediation status and provide regular reporting to the Senior Director of Compliance Assurance.

• Develop and maintain audit preparation calendars and tracking tools to ensure all regulatory deadlines are identified and met across applicable jurisdictions.

• Assist in reviewing and updating internal controls, policies, and procedures relevant to audit obligations and identified control gaps.

• Partner with the Monitoring Team to support compliance monitoring activities during periods of reduced audit cycle volume.

• Prepare and present clear summaries of audit status, findings, and remediation progress for senior compliance leadership and relevant internal stakeholders.

• Assist in the preparation of regulatory filings and audit-related submissions as required by applicable jurisdictions.

• Stay current on regulatory changes, audit standards, and industry developments relevant to iGaming and online Sports Betting compliance and recommend process improvements accordingly.

• Maintain organized documentation and records of all audit-related activities in accordance with internal standards and regulatory expectations.
