Description

Looking to structure or strengthen your internal control system, secure your high-risk processes, or implement an operational compliance approach? I can assist you.

As a specialist in internal control, risk management, and compliance with 6 years of experience in a multi-subsidiary environment (up to 30 entities, 7,400 employees), I work with finance departments, Chief Compliance Officers (RCCI), and operational teams to transform regulatory obligations into concrete and effective systems.

What I bring you concretely:

Design and deployment of internal control plans covering your critical processes (cash, purchasing, payroll, system access, fraud)

Implementation or redesign of your risk mapping with matrices and action plans

Creation of registers and systems for managing conflicts of interest

Conducting field audits with actionable reporting and recommendations

Review and update of your operational procedures

Production of reports and dashboards for your audit committees and management teams

What sets me apart:

Certified by the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers), I work with both field teams and present findings to management committees. I have a pragmatic approach: I build systems adapted to your operational reality, not theoretical frameworks. My experience in environments with high seasonality and multiple activities (real estate, leisure, services) allows me to adapt quickly to complex contexts.

My typical assignments:

Internal control diagnosis, control plan deployment, internal audit, risk mapping, Sapin II / GDPR compliance, team training and awareness, preparation for external audits.
