Major Projects and Accomplishments

• Commercial audits – Elly brings deep experience, having led internal audits across the finance functions at her clients, covering payroll, procurement, accounts payable, general ledger reconciliation, monitoring and reporting, budgeting, and forecasting, operational planning and more.
• Customer experience – Elly has led multiple reviews to define and map the customer journey for several clients. This included identifying bottlenecks fundamentally affecting the customer experience. These engagements supported the redefinition and reengineering of critical processes within her clients.
• Occupational violence – Elly has extensive experience conducting audits that examine and assess health services adoption of the Department of Health (Victoria) Framework for preventing and managing occupational violence and aggression.
