I am a Senior Internal Auditor at EY GDS, specializing in internal audit, financial controlling, and accounting with a strong focus on leveraging data analytics for comprehensive testing. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I have developed expertise in SOX control testing, audit planning, and risk management. I am passionate about emerging technologies, particularly in the agribusiness and telecommunications sectors, and have recently completed training in EY VIA Practitioner and SOX, enabling me to deploy real-time risk monitoring and explore the application of AI in audit processes. My professional background includes working with multinational companies and leading audit teams, where I have been instrumental in identifying and mitigating risks, streamlining processes, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. My career journey has taken me through various roles, from internal auditor positions at Continental Farmers Group and IBC Company to financial controlling at Airbites Ukraine, where I was responsible for budget management, financial reporting, and optimizing company resources. I also have experience in product marketing, having managed e-commerce software marketing strategies at eMagicOne. My educational background includes a specialist diploma in Accounting and Audit from Donetsk National Technical University, along with ACCA and CIA certifications. Fluent in Ukrainian, English, French, and with working knowledge of Polish, I bring a diverse skill set and a passion for continuous learning and innovation in the finance and audit sectors.
