SumUp is creating a new IT Controls Specialist role within its Internal Controls function in London. The specialist takes ownership of the technology side of the company's ICFR and Provision 29 (P29) programmes, designing the control framework, running the IT ICFR assurance programme and making sure IT general controls withstand external audit scrutiny.
