Executive summary

I've been working with Financial Services clients for more than 20 years, focusing on Payment Services, Insurance and Pensions. I'm a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and a member of the Chartered Institute of Insurance.

My work covers internal audit (outsourced, co-sourced and quality assurance), operational and control improvement, safeguarding under PSR and EMI regulations, regulatory compliance and UK Financial Services regulations. I also have experience with US compliance requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley. I currently act as Head of Internal Audit for a large pension scheme and an insurance company and support clients on a co-sourced basis within Payment Services.

My client base spans FTSE 250 and SEC listed entities alongside smaller UK listed and non-listed organisations, both in the UK and globally.
