• Review the quality of prudential regulatory documentation, self-assessments, remediation plans, closure packages, and executive materials before escalation or submission.
• Support the interpretation of OSFI prudential guidelines and regulatory expectations, helping business and risk partners translate requirements into practical governance practices and supporting evidence.
• Lead key activities within the prudential self-assessment program, including planning, evidence standards, quality assurance, issue management, approvals, and reporting.
• Oversee and monitor regulatory action plans and recommendations, clarify accountabilities, track progress, assess closure readiness, and escalate emerging risks or delays when required.
• Prepare executive dashboards, reports, and insights for senior management and governance committees while contributing to regulatory horizon scanning, training initiatives, and best practice implementation.
