Responsibilities

The Internal Audit Program will use a risk-based approach in focusing audit resources on the highest risks while providing audit coverage across the company and performing objective analyses of strategic, financial, operational, technological, internal controls, and risk management processes through planning, execution, and reporting of results for audits, corrective action plans, and control development/testing.

The ERM program, while separate and distinct from Internal Audit, will need to be structured, operationalized and led in a way that is highly complementary to, and mutually reinforcing of, Internal Audit. The ERM Program will account for all relevant COSO, ISO, and/or other industry standards and best practices. The ERM program will be a highly effective, fit-for-purpose program and set of annual activities that ensure the clear identification, evaluation and monitoring of relevant enterprise risks in a well-structured, consistent and coordinated way across the business.

Both Internal Audit and ERM must be designed, operationalized and led in a strategic, business-minded and collaborative manner that supports and facilitates Frontdoor’s strategy and business objectives while simultaneously safeguarding and adhering to the substantive independence that both functions require.

Enterprise Risk Management

• Evolve and lead the ERM program, activities, and assessments to effectively identify, evaluate, manage, mitigate, monitor, and report on enterprise risks in a manner that helps to inform the annual Internal Audit plan and activities, and that supports and facilitates organizational strategy, business objectives, and effective financial, operational, compliance and governance controls.

• Evolve, redesign and operationalize highly effective and efficient enterprise risk assessments (ERAs) and mechanisms to effectively track, monitor and report on the status of enterprise risks (e.g. through enterprise risk scorecards and dashboards), inclusive of Board/Board Committee materials and reports.

• Maintain proactive involvement in business activities related to new products/services, systems development, systems conversions, emerging risks, and process reengineering to ensure that control and ERM considerations are evaluated in the early stages. Coordinates with operational functions to identify and assess both enterprise and internal control risks.
