Senior Auditor who strengthened audit controls at Discover and standardized risk and control matrices at Northern Trust.

United States
Message

At Northern Trust, I led walkthrough meetings and documented in-scope processes with narratives, flowcharts, and risk and control documentation. I also standardized risk and control matrices by consolidating duplicative risks and objectives and rewriting controls in audit-ready language.

At Discover, I tested financial and operational controls under SOX and created procedures for annual proxy disclosure, external auditor fee tracking, and SOC 1 review. I also supervised staff by allocating work, coaching them, and reviewing their documentation.

Earlier, at Nouryon Chemicals LLC, I managed audits from planning through reporting and used Excel to analyze inventory aging. I’m a CPA with experience in internal and external auditing, financial statement testing, and audit documentation.
