• Financial Statements Annual Audit, with specialization in serving multinational companies, following USGAAP and IFRS;
• Due diligence and privatizations;
• Review of internal controls in specific areas for analysis and study of operational efficiencies, developing new guidelines in line with organizational strategies and policies, and studies on the implementation of controls originating from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
• Significant expertise in the Pension Funds industry, leading a multidisciplinary task force to provide the following projects:
  • Risk and Return Analysis, including reporting on financial performance
  • Compliance with pension industry regulation
  • Budget studies and cost analysis
  • Benefits reviews
  • Analysis of the decision-making process related to the acquisition, maintenance, and disposal of assets
  • The economic viability of projects funded by Pension Funds in several segments

My expertise in the Pension Fund industry has led me to be responsible for developing and coordinating the area nationwide at Deloitte since 2001. Responsible for direct coordination of a team exclusively dedicated to the Pension Funds in addition to supporting teams in offices around the country;

Technical responsible for coordinating auditing software implementation at the Deloitte office in Rio de Janeiro.
