SW Accountants & Advisors (SW) is pleased to announce the appointment of Christine Krause as a Director in our Risk Advisory and Internal Audit team.

“We are thrilled to be able to attract such quality talent in Christine. This not only demonstrates our commitment to supporting our clients’ needs, but also to our culture that is underpinned by a clear purpose and strong values. With Christine, we see great alignment with our capabilities, clients and broader SW networks,” said Mr Duane Rogers, CEO.

SW’s strong reputation in financial services related to Foreign ADIs, and funds management will be further strengthened by Christine’s expertise in financial services, including investment management. Christine’s long-standing role in Risk with Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, Future Fund, will strengthen SW’s risk advisory and assurance capability.

Ms Christine Krause says: “I am excited to be joining the SW team and being part of the internal audit and risk advisory growth strategy. I am proud to be joining an organisation that has built its culture from focusing on both its people and clients in order to achieve shared success, and am looking forward to living and breathing that every day.”

Partner, and Head of SW’s Assurance and Advisory Division, Mr Rami Eltchelebi says: “It’s fantastic to have Christine join SW as a partner. Her appointment strengthens our capability as she brings 25+ year of professional experience working both in the profession (KPMG, PwC) and in industry. Developing and leading internal audit and risk management functions in industry makes Chrstine an advisor of choice as she draws on her industry experience to provide value that clients can relate to.”

Mr Rogers says, “Together with the appointment of Vanessa Priest and Kirsty McDonnell last month in Sydney, and Trent Godden-Minette in Melbourne in January this year, we are excited to bring four new partners on board that all have specific talents and a desire to drive growth in their respective markets. Pleasingly, and with a lot of hard work from our people and the support of our clients, we are on track to deliver on our four-year strategic plan. These appointments further bolster our momentum in the market and ensure we can support our growing client needs.”
