PKF Channel Islands appoints partner to lead new risk advisory team

PKF Channel Islands has announced the appointment of partner David Carney to lead its newly created risk advisory practice, marking the latest phase in the firm’s expansion across the islands.

Carney joins with more than 25 years of leadership experience in the UK and Channel Islands. He has held senior posts at Big Four and global accounting firms, specialising in IT audit and data analytics after qualifying as a chartered accountant.

The new practice will provide audit support, controls assurance, internal audit and technology assurance. PKF Channel Islands said it expects the service to help clients manage risks linked to technology-led operations and growing volumes of financial and operational data.

David Moehle, partner and head of audit at PKF in the Channel Islands, said: “David’s appointment reflects the changing needs of our clients and the growing importance of strong control environments, reliable data and confident decision-making. His mix of technical capability and practical experience will be invaluable as our clients continue to adopt new systems and face heightened expectations from regulators, investors and stakeholders. 

The launch of our Risk Advisory practice marks an important step in strengthening the support we provide.”

Carney added: “There is a real opportunity to bring together our in-depth knowledge and experience in strengthening controls, give greater insight through the use of data analytics and provide independent assurance in a way that gives boards and leadership teams the confidence they need.”
