Audit and Risk Synergy

About

About

As a firm believer in Future-Focused auditing, I keep my focus on auditing where the risk is going to be rather than where it has been.

I see my success as linked to the success of business. My philosophy of auditing revolves around challenging the business to succeed by creating and effecting positive change. My work is tailored to long-term value creation for the organization.

A list of leading corporations where I’ve made a positive impact include Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, the Province of British Columbia, Gulf Drilling International Ltd, KPMG, and RSM International. I have contributed as an active member of the strategy and policy team including sharing best practice frameworks and collaborating with key stakeholders.

I am also privileged to serve as a member of the Canada Advisory Committee of Internal Audit, President of the Institute of Internal Auditors Vancouver Island Chapter, a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Committee, a member of ACCA’s global forum for Audit & Assurance, and a member of ACCA’s member network panel in Canada.

Some of my key accomplishments include:
– Won the “Internal Audit Excellence” Award (from ICAEW, UK) for establishing the best-in-class Internal Audit Function
– Received the “Internal Audit Beacon” award for providing thought leadership in the field of Internal Audit
– Set up and led world-class internal audit and ERM functions for large public and private sector organizations
