Sarah Hewson

• Supported colleagues in various teams, including the tax team, to provide advisory services ranging from IT security, strategy, functional transformation, and internal audit effectiveness reviews. • Worked with a range of clients to deliver internal and external audit assignments. • Performed IT risk reviews, had exposure to issues and solutions for IT security issues and performed controls assurance (both general and business process controls), which required the ability to apply independent judgement and experience to advise on controls and operational improvements. • Enhanced the controls environment, including developing integrated risk and control frameworks, which required the ability to work as part of a team, as well as independently. • Led risk management projects, which required robust organisational skills plus sound business awareness, excellent communication skills and personal initiative. • Performed internal audits, requiring the ability to build and manage internal and external relationships.

• Oversaw the implementation of the Faster Payment Service in the UK. • Received reports from members of any problems that are occurring, liaised with the relevant department to devise a solution and gave regular progress reports to members. • Ensured problems were resolved and that members agreed and were aware that they were resolved.
