Mr. Frank Numann, FICD
“Governance of Internal Audit by the Board Audit Committee”
Mr. Frank Numann brings a wide experience in areas such as Finance, Procurement, Project Management, Internal Audit, Ethics, and Compliance gained in 35 years of work in 9 different countries on all continents. This expertise is augmented by having lived in the Philippines for 16 years and being married to a Filipina. He was the first CFO of Shell Philippines Exploration in 1993, where he actively participated in the key design and investment decisions of the Malampaya project. Malampaya was special, not just because of the technical issues. Financing a $2 billion project in the 1990s, while the Philippine economy was still under IMF tutelage, was a major funding challenge. During his career, Mr. Numann's interests evolved into the areas of Internal Audit and Company Culture. Before retirement, he was Shell's global Vice President for Ethics and Compliance. His approach has always been to have profitable operations that are compliant with regulations in areas such as Bribery and Corruption, IT, Data Protection and Money Laundering. This requires a sound appreciation of key business risks and the way Management arrives at their decisions. He is an accomplished Teaching Fellow at ICD. He writes his own training material focused on sharing his experience. Lectures cover diverse areas such as Corporate Culture, Fraud, Whistleblowing and Internal Audit. He is a frequent speaker at corporate conferences and, in 2020, was the keynote speaker at the annual conference of the Institute of Internal Auditors in the Philippines. He hopes that the 2025 Master class about the governance of Internal Audit by the Audit Committee will be as successful as the 2024 one that was entitled: who is responsible for your Corporate Culture.
