Mr. Luis F. Hernandez, Certified Information System Auditor (CISA), has over 28 years experience in the field of audit and management and is a leading authority of modern information system auditing. 
 
 
He began his career as a Cost Accountant for a company in Chicago, Illinois, which specialized in miniature connectors for NASA=s Apollo Space Program. Several years later, he moved into the auditing profession specializing in the banking industry. There he was involved all aspects of bank auditing including fraud and the detection of laundering of funds. He later progressed through the ranks to become Manager of Information Systems Auditing for three major Canadian and U.S. banks. Shortly thereafter, he established audit departments emphasizing the re-engineering of the internal audit functions for such fortune 500 companies as Pillsbury=s Burger King Corporation, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). In each organization, he successfully implemented leading-edge methodologies to meet management=s requests for more value from the Internal Audit Department.
 
He was appointed Director of Latin American Operations by an international training organization. He translated modern concepts of internal auditing into several extremely successful courses; courses that were ranked in the top 10 most asked for classes offered in the United States and Latin America. As a result of his excellent delivery of innovative auditing approaches to private and government agencies in Bogota, Colombia; Santiago de Chile; and San Jose, Costa Rica he received and accepted several invitations and other symposia events as the keynote speaker.  
 
In addition to performing teaching services, he also has been consistently delivering targeted consultative audit services to small and medium size private sector organizations, and State and Federal agencies to assist them in achieving better distribution of audit resources, and ensure proper coverage of high risk.
