Your point of contact for External Audit
My professional journey began with a passion for auditing. From the earliest days of my career, I was fascinated by this profession. At university, my curiosity was piqued by the idea that auditing offers deep insight into businesses, and that remains true to this day. It feels like a constant open door to the corporate world, where there is something new to discover every week and every day.
My tasks vary all the time. One day I will be in touch with a client company for which we have been appointed commissioner, another day we are preparing detailed reports on specific transactions. On other days, the audit team will meet to discuss findings and make recommendations for the client.
A range of challenges are provided as a result of the varied nature of the job, the different deadlines and collaborating with the clients. It requires perseverance, communication and, above all, an ability to listen to clients. The word ‘audit’ derives from the Latin word ‘audire’, meaning ‘to listen’. This reflects the essence of our work: listening carefully to our clients' needs.
At the same time, we must always remain independent. This is crucial because not only shareholders, but all stakeholders benefit from the audited and reviewed financial figures that are presented by companies. Building relationships with our clients is essential, but we always do so while maintaining complete independence.
In the world of auditing, every day is a new challenge, and I would like to invite you to discover more about my experience and dedication on this website.
