  • Maintain accurate audit, certification, finding, and examination records
  • Record time dedicated to each regulated entity
  • Identify situations where regulatory requirements cannot be effectively tested or actual practices differ from established requirements, and escalate them appropriately

  • Professional proficiency in both English and Spanish, written and spoken
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to work independently with limited supervision

  • Must be a resident of Honduras
  • Preferred: Previous experience with CNBS, UFI, a Honduran bank or insurer, a financial-services audit practice, or a regulated fintech
  • Preferred: Experience examining money services businesses/money transmitters, digital asset or cryptocurrency businesses, or insurance companies
