Building a better working world
Accounting auditors are known as the gatekeepers of capital markets. I think it is becoming harder to experience how gratifying audit work can be, due to technological advancements and the relative standardization of audit services.
However, no advances in technology can replace human judgement. I believe that appropriate judgements are the best product of gaining an understanding of a client’s business. You do that by standing shoulder to shoulder with the client, witnessing their challenges firsthand, absorbing their perspectives and fostering a multilayered relationship with them.
This is the true essence of audit and something that that I am committed sharing with others. I hope that I bring this to life for others to see in everything that I do.
