Conor Healy

Director – Audit & Assurance

Conor is an experienced auditor with a focus on driving continuous improvement in the performance of audit to consistently enhance its impact on and value for clients and stakeholders. Regardless of location, size, type or industry, he works with clients and colleagues to achieve the best outcomes possible.

Much of Conor’s experience involves helping start-ups through to established and multinational businesses (listed in Australia and the US) and not-for-profits. Previously a public-sector audit specialist in the UK, he worked with local authorities, the NHS and other government bodies. His extensive involvement with quality assurance and technical teams in both the UK and Australia enables him to understand and effectively respond to even the most challenging and technical problems.

Beyond traditional financial audit, Conor’s experience also includes performing detailed assessments of and preparing reports on sustainability and planning, financial management, governance and leadership, transparency, and value. Utilising transferable skills, he has assisted non-audit clients in various areas: income-maximisation at a local authority while assessing potential social impacts; financial due diligence on a college merger; and establishing COVID-19 testing centres and the systems required to run them in Scotland.

Conor has been working closely with organisations to understand the opportunities of Environmental, Social and Governance and to help establish the correct structures and processes to commence Sustainability Reporting.

Outside of work, Conor is on the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee of the College of Intensive Care Medicine for Australia and New Zealand.
