Background

Job Description

As an Audit Manager, I work with teams to provide independent financial statement and internal control audits, in accordance with the latest professional standards and with a focus on quality. Audits and reviews are planned to assess and identify possible risk—whether the risk of a material misstatement or a risk in internal controls. We work closely with our clients to encourage two-way communication and to minimize surprises. In my role, I serve a variety of clients in the Retail/Consumer Products and Technology industries.
