Corporate Governance and Risk Management Experience

Ted Dahms has a wealth of experience in the design and operation of corporate governance and risk management systems. This experience is underpinned by diverse career achievements across a number of disciplines — management, policy, HR, performance auditing, program evaluation and scientific research.
Ted began his corporate governance and risk management work as a performance auditor with the Queensland Audit Office where he developed audit test plans and conducted reviews across all areas of the public sector. In his current position (since 2003) he continues this role in both the private and public sectors.
The analytical skills and understanding of systems theory gained from his scientific research are applied to synthesize a unique and uncomplicated approach to corporate governance and risk management. The evolution of this conceptual view can be seen in Ted's speeches, papers and his contribution to two significant publications.
