ABOUT MICHELLE FINNEGAN

I am a seasoned audit professional with a 15-year career, the last 8 of which have been dedicated to the integration of technology in audit processes. My work in the past year has been focused on deploying generative AI tools to auditors, a task that requires a deep understanding of various factors including the risks and benefits and how to navigate issues related to compliance with relevant standards. My expertise is further enhanced by a Master of Science in Accounting for Cognitive Analytics from SFU that I received in 2021.
