"I joined the European Court of Auditors in 2006. As an auditor, I work on cohesion policy and on the annual performance report, which provides an overall assessment of the added value of EU programmes.

My duties include planning audits, assessing evidence, reviewing a large variety of documents, drafting reports as well as making on-site visits to authorities and beneficiaries in Member States. Our main working language is English but we also speak several other languages. Good communication and organisational skills are essential to my job.

I have a background in engineering, followed by studies in Public Administration. I also qualified as a certified internal auditor with the Institute of Internal Auditors and then completed a Master of Science in Audit Management and Consultancy. Before joining the European Court of Auditors, I worked as a project manager and as an internal auditor in industrial organisations."
