About Franck

After 10 years with Big Four firms Arthur Andersen and Ernst & Young (1999-2009) as a Director (statutory audit, financial and IT consulting missions) in the Banking, Finance, and Insurance sector, I have spent the last 10 years as an expert consultant and/or business lead on complex transformation projects (such as the redesign of the data model for SG Group's credit exposures from 2016 to 2019) or sensitive topics (such as the implementation of the High Risk NPL standard for BPCE) related to Finance, Accounting, Reporting, and Risk Compliance, with a strong IT focus. A chartered accountant registered with the Order since 2005, I also have experience in accounting production.
