About Barbara Steelman, Cia, Cma, Mba

An audit, accounting and management consulting leader with expertise in audit, accounting and internal controls. Specializing in transformational change through performance audits and reviews addressing remediation and redesign of processes and controls; this has resulted in improved efficiency and client's compliance success while improving outcomes. Management consulting work has included implementation rather than just audit work, coming up with workable, value-added solutions.With more than 25 years audit and consulting experience, I have worked to improve processes and implement accounting, financial modeling, business intelligence, internal audit, internal controls, pricing analyses, benchmarking, and SOX compliance. Experience includes big 4 CPA firm and an international consulting specializing in internal audit, finance and accounting. While I have been in the private sector much of my career as a Controller, Director of Internal Audit, and management consultant, I decided to take my talent and experience to the City of Los Angeles, working to serve the citizens of L.A. by performing operational audits and then into operations to manage and monitor project costs. The work I did through audit work resulted in such changes as improving a City ordinance, highlighting issues / solving problems, reducing waste, and even acknowledging successful programs. I also worked in operations monitoring costs and budget, prior to returning to audit to establish and lead the Internal Audit Division at the Port of Los Angeles.Top 20 business school (USC) MBA provided strategic training and learning the tools to bring to management consulting.Industry expertise includes experience and/or specialized studies in internet, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, government, real estate, distribution, retail, and hospitality.Specialties: Accounting, internal audit, SOX, internal controls, performance audits, contract and budget creation and monitoring, fraud discovery, forensic accounting, change management, SEC filings, start-ups, strategic planning, Board service and international consulting experience..
