Joanne Brown

I am an experienced public sector assurance partner with 25 years of expertise working with public sector organisations across Scotland and England. As a key audit partner, I lead complex and large-scale external audits, signing audit opinions and overseeing value-for-money work, including public interest reporting. Alongside my external audit responsibilities, I bring extensive experience in governance, risk management, and internal controls, and I have led the delivery of internal audit services.

My experience spans local government, the NHS, and central government. This breadth enables me to provide wider insights both within and across the public sector. I am recognised for my pragmatic advice, collaborative approach, and ability to build strong relationships founded on trust and mutual respect. Throughout my career, I have contributed to high-profile assignments, including public interest reporting and presenting to the Scottish Public Audit Committee.Third paragraph

Outside of work, I have a teenage son and daughter, and I enjoy going to the gym, walking, spending time outdoors, and being together as a family.
