Desmond Whittaker

As a CPA and an Internal Auditor with over five years of experience in accounting and auditing, I have developed and demonstrated strong competencies in evaluating and ensuring the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, facilitating external audit workflows, and collaborating with diverse business partners. I am currently working at Finning, the world's largest Caterpillar dealer, where I lead and conduct CSOX testing across various regions and entities, applying a risk-based approach and adhering to the COSO framework.

I am passionate about Finning's mission to create value for its customers, employees, and shareholders, and I uphold the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and professionalism in my work. I enjoy working with collaborative teams, and I bring a positive and proactive attitude to every project and challenge. I use my analytical and communication skills to identify and report any control deficiencies, gaps, or recommendations for improvement, and to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting. I continuously seek opportunities to learn and grow, and to contribute to the success and innovation of Finning.
