A self and results driven Finance professional, Dorothy is a seasoned Banking, Risk, Audit and Compliance professional, with over 14 years’ experience in Banking, of which 8 years are in Internal Audit. Being resilient and unafraid to take on new challenges, she is an Internal Audit Manager at National Bank and chairs the Executive Audit Committee for Kericho County as a service to the community and the profession, she also volunteers as a mentor and mobilizes support for the resource challenged through a LNGO( The Gender Platform).

Dorothy is passionate about effective Corporate Governance. It is what sets the pace for efficiency and effectiveness in all Governments and organizations. This can be established through clear and transparent governance structures and instruments. I believe that this passion will be a value add to the Institute of Internal Auditors-Kenya and audit professionals.

Her agenda for the Institute is a selfless commitment to continuous improvement. This will be attained through identification of gaps, and together with the BOG and Internal Auditors, formulate iterative solutions. The areas of focus which are envisioned to prompt positive transformation include (but are not limited to):

  1. Governance through formulation of a Board Charter, to clearly define roles of the Governors, separate from those of the Secretariat and supporting the full BOG in lobbying for the enactment of the Internal Audit Bill.
  2. Advocacy & Advisory aimed at creating IIA brand visibility through awareness drives, recognition of CIA, growing membership, giving advisory services, and lobbying for special groups such as Women and Youth.
  3. Partnerships with other registered professional bodies such ICPAK, AWAK that will add value to IIA and public and private partnerships that are mutually beneficial to the IIA and Internal Auditors.
