Background

About Odelyn Barreto

With a solid foundation in financial services and audit expertise, I bring over 6 years of professional experience from my role in external audit at PwC Middle East. Leveraging my credentials as a Certified Fraud Examiner, and using my professional skepticism and investigative skills developed as an auditor, I am committed to a transition to forensic accounting and fraud investigations. In my most recent managerial role, I have also spearheaded several digital transformation initiatives, including developing data analytical solutions and visualization dashboards that have significantly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of audit processes. Collaborating with my wider teams, I have successfully navigated the complexities of group audits and optimized job economics, delivering high-quality audit services. My role involved a solid understanding of the IFRS Accounting Standards, International Auditing Standards and the regulatory regime in the UAE. My knowledge of the risks of fraud, the measures to prevent and detect fraud and the regulatory implications of fraudulent acts will further support my role as a forensic accountant and allow me to uphold the integrity that the practice seeks of its professionals.
