AUDIT EXPERTISE (AT DELOITTE USA, WITHUM USA, KPMG EGYPT and PwC EGYPT)
Versatile and technically accomplished audit and finance executive with over a decade of leadership experience across Big Four firms (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG) and third-tier firms (Withum), supporting public and private companies across diverse industries and geographies. Demonstrated expertise in U.S. GAAP, IFRS, PCAOB standards, and SOX 404 compliance, with a proven ability to lead large-scale, complex audits and deliver strategic insights to senior stakeholders.
Led audits of SEC-registered companies with global operations and revenues exceeding $80 billion, managing cross-border engagements and collaborating with international teams to reconcile local GAAP with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Known for precision in risk assessment, technical excellence, and trusted relationships with CFOs, Controllers, and Audit Committees.

Adept at navigating new accounting guidance—including ASC 842 (leases), ASC 606 (revenue), ASC 805 (business combinations), and ASC 810 (VIEs)—and translating complex issues into actionable solutions.
