PKF Channel Islands has announced the appointment of David Carney as Partner to lead its newly established Risk Advisory service.
David (pictured) joins with more than 25 years of leadership experience across the UK and Channel Islands, including senior roles at Big Four and global accounting firms. A Chartered Accountant who later specialised in IT audit and data analytics, he has led major projects in financial services, technology, retail, hospitality and manufacturing, helping organisations strengthen controls, improve performance and better understand the risks within their systems and data.
At PKF Channel Islands, David will oversee the firm’s new Risk Advisory practice, which provides services including audit support, controls assurance, internal audit and technology assurance.
David Moehle, Partner and Head of Audit at PKF Channel Islands, said of the appointment and launch: “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.”
Commenting on his appointment, David Carney said: “I’m delighted to be joining PKF Channel Islands at such a pivotal moment for the firm. Organisations are operating in increasingly complex environments, and many are looking for clearer insights into their systems, data and control frameworks. My focus is on building a service that is practical, collaborative and data-powered; helping clients understand risk more clearly and use technology in ways that genuinely support their strategy.”
He 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. I’m looking forward to working with colleagues and clients across the firm as we build this new practice.”
