Controls Advisory Senior Associate

Sep 2016 - Nov 2018
Conducted internal audits, primarily in the Energy industry. I specialized in financial audits, payroll and accounting reconciliations, business process reviews, vendor audits and contract compliance projects. I evaluated and tested business processes and internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) per Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. In every engagement, I had to gain a comprehensive understanding of the client operations, business and accounting processes, and business objectives to be able to apply that knowledge throughout the project. I also worked with the advisory team to identify and resolve client issues discovered during the audit or review process. I gathered and compiled accounting data from the client and their suppliers to analyze and identify variances. I supervised, trained and mentored associate staff and interns on internal audit and accounting concepts.
