Sylwia Willis

I am currently employed at UHY Farrelly Dawe White as an Accounts and Audit Manager. I specialise in providing statutory audit services for the charity and non-for-profit sector, as well as preparing statutory financial statements (including SORP accounts). I have also experience in providing internal audit for charities and auditing grants received (including EU funding).

I also provided management accounts using a variety of accounting software packages (including cloud accounting packages).

In 2021, I successfully completed the Charity Law, Trusteeship and Governance course provided by the Law Society of Ireland.

In addition to my work, I am a Non-Executive Director and Treasurer of the WBR Credit Union in Warrenpoint, Co. Down.
