Sam Cornish

I'm a Partner in our Financial Services Internal Audit team based in London. For almost 20 years, I've been working in and providing audit services to clients in the banking and asset management industries. I help you with outsourced internal audit assurance, specialist co-sourced skills and transforming internal audit departments to be fit for the future.

Before joining the firm in 2022, I spent almost four years at Protiviti as their lead FS Internal Audit Director in the UK, directing two outsourced internal audit functions and reporting to audit committees. Before that, I worked as Head of Operations for Internal Audit at RBS, helping shape the global strategy of a 500-strong department and ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the function.

That combination of in-house Internal Audit and consulting experience means I understand what good internal audit looks like from both sides.
