Monahans appoints Joel Haft to lead new internal audit service
Monahans, a South West-based accountancy firm, has announced the appointment of Joel Haft as head of internal audit based in its Swindon office.
Joel will lead the launch and development of the firm’s new internal audit service line, a key part of Monahans’ strategy to expand its advisory offering.
He joins from SS&C Financial Services, where he played a key role in strengthening internal control frameworks and delivering value through assurance.
His background includes working closely with Boards, audit committees and regulators across the financial services, fintech and blockchain sectors.
“I’m really looking forward to getting started,” said Joel. “Monahans has big ambitions for its advisory services, and building an agile Internal Audit function is a great challenge to take on.
“There’s a real opportunity here to build a service line that helps organisations strengthen their governance, meet regulatory expectations and confidently manage challenges.”
In recent years, Joel has also contributed to thought leadership in the audit space, speaking at conferences on the evolving role of internal audit in crypto and digital assets.
Simon Tombs, managing partner at Monahans, said: “Joel is a fantastic addition to the team. His experience, passion and point of view are exactly what we need as we grow this part of the business. We’re thrilled to have him on board.”
The introduction of the firm’s new internal audit service line means clients can expect practical, hands-on support to help them manage risks better, tighten up controls, and stay ahead of changing regulations.
