Internal Audit & Internal Controls Manager driving risk-based assurance, SOX, and governance improvements.

Spain

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead risk-based assurance and internal controls work—especially SOX, ITGC/RCM validation, and governance improvements—partnering with senior stakeholders to strengthen the control environment and manage enterprise risk.

I’m an ACA (FCA) qualified Internal Audit and Internal Controls Manager with 25+ years’ experience delivering risk-based assurance, SOX implementation, and governance improvements across FTSE 100/250, Fortune 500, and private equity-backed organisations. I lead financial, operational, IT, and compliance audits that strengthen control environments and help senior stakeholders manage risk.

My specialist focus is SOX implementation, internal controls, enterprise risk management, finance transformation, and post-acquisition integration. Across contracts and leadership roles, I’ve owned control design reviews and validations (including ITGC and RCM consolidation), managed internal SOX testing, and delivered audit committee-ready reporting while partnering closely with first-line teams and external auditors.
