"Utilizing my internal control knowledge to deliver audit, attest and assurance services, I assist a variety of clients in meeting complex business and technology requirements within the boundaries set by investors, service users and regulators. I help them document how they are assessing and controlling the risks inherent in their obligations, providing them an opportunity to demonstrate that they are astute in delivering key services and managing the information and other assets entrusted to them."

Peter F. Heuzey maintains a skilled dual focus in financial services and IT consulting. He has more than 30 years of experience in financial services, in addition to working with commercial and technology clients, and previously served as head of audit for several large banks, as well as an audit partner at a Big Four firm. His previous projects include running the Y2K Project for a major investment bank’s 20,000 person retail group, and then serving as the chief information security and business continuity officer.

A leader in the alternative investment field, Peter is accomplished in handling investment operations and compliance readiness, monitoring and reporting.
