Internal Audit
Chief Internal Auditor
Profile
In February 2005, I joined as Head of Internal Audit with diversified experience gained through finance, audit & compliance roles in multi-national corporations including financial services companies within Japan and the Asia-Pacific region after obtaining a Business Administration degree from the National University of Singapore and post graduate diploma from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Key roles and responsibilities these past five years encompass instituting professional internal audit processes and practices, working closely with the Bank's management and the Audit Committee to improve the risk control and internal control systems in SGPBJ and providing audit interface for regulatory inspections.
How is working at Societe Generale Private Banking Japan?
Working at Societe Generale Private Banking Japan has been personally fulfilling and challenging. For a non-Japanese like myself, this company provides a rich, cross-cultural working environment because staff are predominantly Japanese. Regular interaction with all staff levels provides an opportunity to leverage my in-depth knowledge of internal controls and private banking business in promoting control awareness among employees. Also to conduct accurate and fair audit assessments demands a working knowledge of local processes and systems, Head Office policies and expectations of the local regulators. Finally it is important to keep abreast of local regulatory changes, new Head Office directives, new products and services, etc.
