Sheryl Profeta is MISSA’s new CFO
Posted 1/31/10
MISSA has promoted Mary Sheryl Jane Profeta to the post of Deputy Administrator (for Corporate Services Division) & CFO effective November 21, 2009. Sheryl replaced Ave Gimao Jr. who returned permanently to the Philippines in November last year.
Sheryl is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and held various supervisory and managerial posts in finance, accounting and audit for about fifteen years in the Philippines. She has a bachelor’s degree in Accounting (cum laude) and earned several MBA units from one of the universities in the Philippines.
Sheryl joined MISSA in December 2006 as Finance Manager and consistently maintained MISSA’s strong internal controls over financial recording and reporting.
The no finding audits and unqualified opinions earned by MISSA from its external auditors for FYs 2007, 2008 and 2009 were made possible because of her exemplary handling of accounting and treasury, the departments that are normally prone to non-compliance to policies and procedures. Sheryl has also closely coordinated with MISSA’s Retirement Fund Division in maintaining strong internal controls over its processing and documentation of claims and benefits.
With her promotion, Sheryl’s new responsibilities include the oversight of MISSA’s tax compliance, tax audit and human resources departments. She will continue to manage accounting, treasury/customer service and information technology departments. Sheryl will also be working hand-in-hand with Bill Joseph, MISSA’s Deputy Administrator (for Retirement Fund Division) & COO.
Sheryl is also an active officer and member of the Filipino Association of the Marshall Islands (FAMI) and is married to Bong Profeta, Assistant EDP Manager of RRE.
