Louella Benitez

I’m a detail-oriented audit professional specializing in external audit engagements across real estate, banking, trust, BPO, construction, and logistics. I lead audit planning and execution, with a strong focus on risk assessments and evaluating internal control frameworks.

In my current role as a Senior Audit Associate, I review and finalize financial statements and audit documentation to ensure compliance with PFRS and IFRS standards. I also identify control deficiencies and operational gaps, providing actionable recommendations to strengthen internal controls and processes.

I bring collaboration and ownership to every engagement: I act as primary client liaison, coordinate with finance teams and management, and manage engagement timelines and budgets while maintaining efficiency and quality. I present audit findings with managers and partners, delivering value-adding insights to clients.

Previously, as a Junior Associate II and Junior Associate I, I supported audit planning, performed audit procedures, and prepared audit documentation, working papers, and Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) reports. I’ve worked with CaseWare and Excel to support audit procedures and data analysis, and I’ve supervised and mentored junior team members to improve workpaper quality.
