Professional Experience:
I am a highly experienced accounting professional with over ten years of public accounting and finance experience within IFRS, US GAAP and UK GAAP reporting environments. I am experienced in facilitating the entire financial reporting process including general ledger maintenance and oversight, review and authorization of cash transactions, periodic reconciliations, preparation and review of financial statements, evaluation of capital adequacy and other regulatory requirements and acting as a liaison to external auditors and tax professionals. I have approximately nine years of combined external and internal audit experience within Big Four firms, where I provided high quality assurance services by coordinating the planning, execution, and completion of audits for a variety of entities, concentrated primarily within the financial services industry. I obtained an in-depth understanding of client business processes and performed critical risk assessments to develop efficient and effective audit strategies. Furthermore, I have actively participated in the detailed evaluations of key business processes to ensure compliance with organizational policies, financial reporting standards and laws and regulations. Consequently, I identified internal control deficiencies, developed value-added recommendations, and communicated findings verbally and in written reports.
