Summary

The Senior Auditor will be responsible to lead and execute audits on HP’s partners involved in the indirect distribution channel, to understand and determine the level of compliance to the various discount and compensation programs which they benefit from. The aim of these audits is to deter grey-marketing activities and provide a level-playing field for all the distribution partners.

These audits will be managed end-to-end by the Senior Auditor. Starting from an internal analysis of multiple data points to determine the inherent risk, the Senior Auditor will then determine the parameters of the audit and proceed to audit the external distribution partner. Once the audit is concluded, the Senior Auditor is responsible to recommend various remediation plans, which will be presented to senior/executive management for final sign off.
