Peru And Chile

As Senior Manager, Internal Audit, I led the execution of the company’s Internal Audit’s strategy in Peru, Chile and Argentina. My efforts helped reduce audit execution cycle time by 30% and reporting time by 70%. I managed risk assessment activities to identify cross-functional viewpoints on the risks and issues to be addressed in the audit plan. I also developed a rolling global audit plan. This included establishing audit priorities, strategies and the required budgets to execute the plan. One of my priorities was to develop and maintain strong stakeholder relationships through regular meetings and communications with members of the regional and functional leadership teams. This allowed significant business risks to be identified and addressed, and action plans to be developed while keeping management abreast of Internal Audit activities affecting their areas of responsibility.
