Audit Associate Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

The Sales Audit Analyst will own daily Sales Audit activities across assigned fascias, ensuring sales, returns, and tender transactions are accurately validated, reconciled, and transmitted from POS systems to Workday Accounting Center and the General Ledger. The analyst will research and resolve transaction exceptions, missing sales, register variances, and data mapping issues while partnering with Store Operations, IT, Loss Prevention, and Accounting to improve data quality, compliance, and processing efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Audit daily sales, return, and tender transactions flowing from store POS systems and e-commerce channels into Sales Audit platforms across assigned fascias, taking full ownership of POS-to-GL data quality.

• Research and resolve daily sales transaction errors and exceptions within Sales Audit tools to ensure clean, validated data transmission to Workday Accounting Center.

• Analyze Sales Audit reconciliation outputs daily, separating completed reconciliations from actionable reconciling items, posting corrections, and identifying systemic data translation issues.

• Track and evaluate transaction error patterns (e.g., tender mapping errors, cashier training gaps, system integration glitches) to uncover root causes and recommend automated validation rules.

• Verify that validated sales audit data accurately posts into Workday Accounting Center and maps correctly to General Ledger accounts.

• Partner directly with Store Managers, District Leaders, Store Operations, and IT to resolve register over/short variances, untransmitted sales batches, and bad SKUs at the source, driving upstream data quality.

• Collaborate with upstream business partners (IT, POS Support, Store Ops) and downstream accounting teams to build automated data checks, reduce manual exception queues, and increase overall team throughput.

• Monitor daily Missing Store reports and coordinate with Store Ops and IT to force-poll or re-transmit missing POS data prior to close.

• Analyze register exception reports (e.g., suspicious returns, manual overrides, gift card redemptions) to highlight potential compliance risks and operational inefficiencies.

• Process credit card retrievals, challenge chargebacks, and maintain loss documentation with payment processors and Loss Prevention.

• Prepare daily and monthly manual adjustment EIBs in Workday to resolve POS data translation errors or improper tender mapping.

• Proactively identify recurring POS transaction error patterns and system interface bottlenecks, proposing workflow refinements and automated rules to improve data intake accuracy, minimize manual work, and accelerate processing times.

• Assist with the monthly Stock Ledger to Workday GL revenue reconciliation by gathering sub-ledger details and research workpapers.

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance preferred but not required; 2-4 years of relevant work experience in Sales Audit, Retail Accounting, Revenue Accounting, Financial Operations, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
