>> My name is Susan Lowe.
I'm a senior manager at KPMG in the audit practice, in our Financial Services Group.
KPMG is a worldwide accounting tax advisory firm.
So I have worked in the audit group.
We do audits of public and private companies.
Obviously for the tax group, they support us in our audit process as well
as do tax returns for companies and individuals.
And our advisory group does other projects anywhere from internal audit
to outsourced accounting and a variety of other functions, IT included.
My day involves managing teams.
So I generally have a team of anywhere from two to four people reporting to me.
So I'm managing our audit process, getting our work done, interacting with clients.
As an example, last night I found out that a client needs us to issue a consent,
which is a public filing for the SEC, so I have a team back
at the office working on that right now.
When you support public clients, I would say that it's typical
that your clients are often doing offering, so issuing more stock in their company.
In this case, this is a mutual fund, so they're issuing more shares,
which is great for the company, so we need to be able to react quickly and provide them
with what we need, because it's ultimately benefitting their organization.
