About
I have professional experiences working in audit, risk management, compliance, and operations. I enjoy working with people from different cultural background to make things happen and add value to organisations.
With wealth of knowledge as a trainer for Certified Internal Auditors (CIA) and a past member of the International Internal Audit Standards Board, I am looking forward to share my experiences and knowledge with aspiring auditors to help them prosper in their careers.
