      Manager

      As a financial auditor, I was involved in the analytical review and evaluation of the financial statements of both multinational and local companies including group accounts, ranging from semiconductor, textile and consumer products to industrial products industries. As such, I am familiar with various FRS and disclosure requirements, as well as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) audit requirements. Major clients under my portfolio have included Fairchild Semiconductor, Motorola, Minebea Electronics Motor and Entegris. With 7 years in an audit firm under my belt, I am a high achiever and good team player with experience in dealing with tight deadlines.I also underwent a 3-month stint in the Internal Audit Department. This entails detailed documentation of the company’s process and systems, including the reporting on recommended improvement opportunities. Show less
