Skills and Expertise

KPMG Manila Philippines

From 2004 to 2007, I have served as a Senior Associate Auditor at KPMG Manila Philippines. There, I not only oversaw critical audit engagements but also mentored staffs and provided invaluable technical guidance.

Central Bank Expertise

As an Assistant Manager/Senior Internal Auditor at Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines) from 2008 to 2019, I delved into risk-based audits. My ability to communicate findings effectively elevated the audit process.

Lead Auditor Roles

In Canada, my leadership role shone during my tenure as Lead Internal Auditor at River Cree Resort & Casino and later at Prospera Credit Union. I ensured compliance with rigorous organizational standards, leaving no room for oversight.

Risk Assessment Mastery

Had subsequent roles at the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) and Lindquist, von Husen & Joyce LLP (LvHJ) that deepened my expertise in risk assessment and audit execution, in a global scale, in Canada and the U.S.

“Across continents, I’ve honed a nuanced understanding of international regulations, leveraging adaptability and cultural awareness to enhance my audit approach.”
