Bio
Michael J Scarbrough, CISA, CRISC, MBA
As a contractor, Will had the daunting task of managing customer support activities and performing accounting reconciliations between systems of record and the general ledger in support of Confirmations work. Will successfully multi-tasked to ensure that customer concerns were addressed timely and that deadlines were met on performing the accounting reconciliations. As a result of his work, he was hired full-time by Wells Fargo as an Internal Auditor. I would recommend Will, as he asks the right questions to understand and meet expectations.
