What I'm looking for

I seek a senior audit or risk role in an organization valuing strong governance, clear controls, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to improve compliance and financial transparency.

I am an experienced internal audit leader and accountant with a strong background in risk-based audit planning, financial reporting, and compliance with IFRS, AML/CFT and local regulatory frameworks. I have led internal audit functions for insurers and industry federations, coordinated with audit committees and boards, and implemented controls that reduce financial and operational risk.

I hold an MBA and a CIA certification and bring hands-on accounting experience across media production, corporate and financial services environments. I deliver clear audit findings, collaborate with risk and compliance teams, and support governance and fraud-prevention efforts to ensure transparent reporting and regulatory adherence.
