auditing FTSE 100 companies across a variety of sectors.
Marshal also previously chaired PwC’s Global Audit

senior executive and non-executive positions in the UK, US, and in
Germany, including a senior management position with the Goldman

The POB’s responsibilities are to oversee
auditor regulation, monitor auditing quality, and oversee
accountancy regulation and actuarial professionals.
