He also has a keen interest in how technology, data and AI are changing businesses across different sectors and how they can enhance the quality and effectiveness of audit.

Joseph believes a good audit relationship should extend well beyond the year end process. He stays close to his clients throughout the year, giving CFOs and finance teams access to senior advice when issues arise and helping them address complex accounting, valuation and reporting matters early. His aim is to make the audit process as straightforward as possible while maintaining the challenge and professional scepticism expected of a high quality auditor.
