  Working with company partners and client management my role is focused predominantly on risk / ERM and internal controls. In a varied and dynamic structure and depending on the requirements of clients, my role extends to the development of internal control structures, assessment of existing internal controls or the development of risk matrices and control objectives within. I have designed templates for clients thereby allowing the use of standardised documentation for process documentation (Standard Operating Procedure documents) and risk and control matrices. As required, I will provide a service or guidance on any matters relating to internal audit, having in excess of 30 years international experience. As a SOX expert, I also advise clients on all matters relating to the Sarbanes Oxley Act whether it be for an existing SOX filer or a new IPO company looking to list publicly for the first time. I have delivered dynamic risk assessment and scoping documentation for clients who were SOX filer companies and created route maps and templates for annual SOX certification activity. Additionally, I also provide coaching and guidance for clients looking to establish their own risk management structures.
