    • Oakville, Ontario

    As a Senior Auditor in the Internal Audit Department at Genworth Canada, I am responsible for planning and executing operational audits of all the departments within the organization using a risk-based approach. For each audit, I identify all risks and relevant internal controls which are used to drive the scope of the audit, through discussions with department leads. I perform testing of all internal controls and document results in Teammate. I manage guest auditors from external firms while coaching them through their work, tracking project status, and reviewing their work. I document finding and observation audit reports, and lead closing conferences to present them to the respective Senior Leaders, and follow the findings through to closure.

  Price Waterhouse Coopers

  • Senior Associate - External Auditor

    • Jan 2010 - Jun 2015

    As a Senior Associate in the Audit and Assurance Group (AAG) at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), I worked on clients in the pharmaceutical, electronics, and NPO sectors. My portfolio also included large publicly traded SEC-registrant companies in the food services sector. Throughout my experience at PwC, I planned & executed audit, review, and non-assurance engagements, while managing teams of 3-8 employees, for clients with revenues ranging from $3M to $2B. I developed in-depth knowledge of IFRS, ASPE, ASNPO, and US GAAP standards by being a key member of audit teams in charge of annual financial statements and MD&A, including TSX-client filings for SEC registrants (10K form, 8K form, and 144A filings). I enhanced the approach and timing of the audit of a large Canadian Food and Beverage Company ($2B) and gained efficiencies, allowing work to be completed earlier and increased revenues by 5% for this engagement. I also performed SOX and controls testing on client’s financial business processes using COSO and COBIT, as well as substantive testing on all areas of client's financial statements, and presented findings to managers and clients.
