About Olga

I support companies in the design, implementation, and evaluation of SOX, ICFR, and IKS structures – pragmatically, audit-proof, and management-ready.

In my career to date, I have worked on both the consulting and corporate sides, supporting organizations of various sizes and maturity levels: from the initial SOX introduction to the further development and optimization of existing internal control systems. I have experience in medium-sized companies as well as in MDAX and DAX corporations.

My focus is on creating robust yet practical control environments that meet regulatory requirements, are operationally feasible, and are accepted by business units. I work closely with CFOs, finance teams, internal audit, IT, and operational units, taking responsibility for structure, methodology, and results.

Focus areas:
• SOX & ICFR (Design, Implementation, Testing, Optimization)
• Internal Control Systems (IKS) & Governance
• Risk and Control Matrices (RCM), SOPs & Process Documentation
• Interface between management, business units, and auditors

My claim: clear structures, transparent controls, and solutions that work in everyday life.
