“A good audit does more than confirm the numbers. It helps my clients understand what sits behind them, the systems, processes and culture that shape how a business performs.”

 

Expertise

As Head of Audit and Assurance and Governance, Risk and Controls Advisory, Victor leads Vincents’ external audit, internal audit, and financial risk advisory practices. With more than two decades of global professional services, commercial finance and public sector experience across Australia and Asia, he brings a deep, multi-jurisdictional perspective to audit and risk advisory.

He specialises in financial statement audits, corporate governance, internal controls and regulatory assurance for listed entities, government organisations, large private enterprises and not-for-profits with complex financial reporting requirements.

Victor is known for looking beyond the numbers to evaluate organisational performance, providing boards and executive teams with independent reviews that bring strategic insight to critical decisions.

His multi-sector experience includes asset-intensive, regulated, and service-based industries, including construction, property development, mining, energy & resources, FMCG, education, real estate, agriculture and public utilities.

His focus areas include:

  • Independent external audits and financial statement assurance for ASX listed entities, large proprietary companies, NFPs and public sector bodies.
  • US Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) testing, statutory compliance engagements and regulatory reporting assurance.
  • Specialised assurance engagements including agreed-upon procedures (AUP), grant acquittals, and targeted financial control reviews.

Victor began his professional services career at Arthur Andersen in the Philippines before moving into commercial finance roles and later returning to Ernst & Young. He subsequently held senior leadership positions with Deutsche Bank, Crowe Horwath and PwC.

Prior to joining Vincents, Victor held key executive audit roles with the Queensland Audit Office (QAO), where he led financial statement audits for major government entities within Queensland’s water and utilities sector and contributed to reports tabled in Parliament.
