In the context of the issuance of financial statements, I managed several external IT audit engagements for a portfolio composed of an average of 25 clients per year, being mainly part of the banking and industry sectors.

He has also worked on the recalculation of taxes for a part of Swiss residents. Finally he worked on a revenue insurance project for one of the biggest credit card transaction issuer and acquirer around the world in order to detect potential issues within the data processing flow.
In the context of a first year audit of a high potential startup (300% revenue increase per year), he worked together with financial auditors to create a specific strategy to provide a reasonable assurance that revenues are legitimate. This went through identifying the critical data flows, assessing the Internal Control System in place around every identified system and by performing a complete revenue insurance : understanding how revenues are generated and performing the calculation over the concerned fiscal year. - SOC Reporting
I assessed the internal control system as per the ISAE 3402 standards for the Luxembourgish entities of one of the biggest Swiss Bank around the world. I have been in charge of the review and issuance of the SOC 1 (Type II) report for one of the biggest IT services company in Switzerland.
