What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote or international opportunities where I can lead risk-based internal audits, evaluate internal controls and compliance, and deliver practical, actionable recommendations that strengthen operational performance and risk management.

I’m an Internal Auditor with experience across consulting, banking, retail, and construction, specializing in risk-based internal audit plans. I develop and execute audits across operational, compliance, and special-request areas, aligning findings with best practices.

I evaluate policies, procedures, and internal controls to identify operational weaknesses and compliance risks. I prepare audit reports with actionable recommendations to improve processes, efficiency, and risk management, then collaborate on follow-up corrective action plans.

Previously, I supported internal audit procedures through substantive testing, control testing, inventory verification, cash counts, bank reconciliation reviews, and financial statement and documentation reviews. I’m comfortable working with multidisciplinary teams in fast-paced environments and I’m open to remote and international opportunities.
