Introducing 2022 Associate - Temitope Adegun
Temitope was born and raised in Nigeria, but now lives in Edmonton, Alberta. During the course of his career, he has had roles ranging from business support and administrative services, to exam administration, client support and compliance. Through these experiences, Temitope discovered his passion for all things compliance, including business assurance, audit, risk and investigations management.
