Paul Dirks helps organizations in the energy sector get a better grip on their processes and communication through strong governance, flexible internal control and meaningful, reliable financial reporting. This makes it easier to manage and make decisions based on your own information.
He studied international business administration at the universities of Maastricht and Lausanne, completed the postgraduate program in accountancy in Maastricht and has worked for EY for almost twenty years.
“My job is to provide insight into complex reporting and valuation issues, audit financial reports and advise clients on governance and internal control. Defining the risks associated with the energy transition is currently a hot topic. With smarter, more effective, well-automated data streams, companies add certainty to figures and processes. Better reporting results in better management.”
How Paul is building a better working world
“My contribution is to sit at the table with board members and keep them informed by thoroughly analyzing complex issues and providing a simplified representation of the problems. The aim is to involve as many decision-makers as possible in resolving the issue, while at the same time identifying and balancing interests. How will the choices we make impact our society in the future? How do an organization's stakeholders respond to a scenario?”
