About Bessie Papoulidis
Extensive financial industry experience holding progressive roles in Internal Audit, Commercial Banking Risk Management, Operational and Enterprise Risk Management. My experience is unique and spans across all three lines of defense with a deep understanding of the banking industry and regulatory landscape. With an early accounting foundation and CPA background, I have strong analytical and critical thinking skills and have grown my expertise in credit, operational, compliance, strategic and reputation risk with the proven ability to anticipate risks and recommend risk mitigation practices with a balanced and pragmatic approach whether it be in first line risk management, through credible challenge in operational risk oversight, or as a trusted advisor in Internal Audit. My recent focus and expertise in Internal Audit was on managing all aspects of end to end audit plans of Commercial Banking and of Credit Practices including the Allowance for Credit Losses and Model Risk Management. I also have solid experience in audits of Accounting, Finance, Operational Risk Management, Private Banking end to end functions and Corporate Governance/HR and Legal.
