I am an Internal Audit Manager for Centrica plc. in Houston, where I am responsible for the planning, coordinating, preparing and presenting audit results and recommendations for Direct Energy (DE). . Direct Energy operates in 10 Canadian provinces and 46 US states plus the District of Columbia, with more than six million customer relationships.My previous role was at Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC), where I was a Senior Audit Associate. I participated in the audit of two Fortune 500 companies and one a Fortune 500 Oil and Gas Master Limited Partnership. I was responsible for supervising audit staff during the completion of their controls testing and substantive audit procedures in order to ensure that audit procedures were performed and documented in accordance with PCAOB (Sarbanes Oxley), GAAS, and firm standards. In addition, I was responsible for audit planning/completion procedures and budget management.At Centrica, the internal audit function relies on a comprehensive risk based approach which identified and evaluated risk not only at the group level but business unit level as well. This process was used to create a comprehensive audit program that was presented to the Audit Committee for approval. As an external auditor, PwC also relies on a comprehensive risk based approach in order to assess the effectiveness of the control environment in adherence with Sarbanes Oxley requirements.I have a thorough understanding of risk and controls, including how risk should be identified and implementation of controls to respond those risks including the application of the five elements of the COSO model (control environment, risk assessment, monitoring, control activities, and information and communication.) My experience has allowed me to provide assurance over the control environment that is in place and also provide recommendations over the improvement of the control environment through the identification of internal control deficiency and weaknesses.

Listed skills include Internal Audit, Internal Controls, Sarbanes Oxley Act, Financial Reporting, and 13 others.
