Executive Summary
Internal audit director for a manufacturer with 6,000 employees, reporting to the audit committee and administratively to the chief financial officer. Eighteen years in audit. Leads a department of nine covering operational, financial and compliance audits at fourteen plants in three countries.
Signature Achievements
- Passed an external quality assessment against the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors with a rating of generally conforms and no required actions.
- Cut the annual cost of Sarbanes Oxley section 404 testing by 640 thousand dollars by reducing the key control count and using data testing instead of samples.
- Delivered the approved audit plan in full for six consecutive years while adding two special investigations each year.
- Led a fraud investigation into a purchasing scheme that recovered 1.9 million dollars and resulted in criminal referral.
- Redesigned the risk assessment so audits are chosen with the executive team rather than presented to it, and audit findings acceptance rose to every issue agreed at the closing meeting.
- Built a rotation program that placed four auditors into finance and operations roles, which made the department a route into the business rather than a dead end.
