Name: Roy
Position: Director, Audit Branch, Taxation Division

Roy is a role model for anyone wanting a long and rewarding career with the Manitoba government. Roy immigrated to Canada in 1979 from Guyana, South America and joined the Manitoba government in 1982 in a “clerical”, term position. Thirty years later, he is the Director of Audit, a senior position in the Department of Finance.

“Shortly after joining the Manitoba government, a very positive work environment, I realized it was a place where advancement was not only possible but fostered by a supportive management team. All I needed to do was acquire the necessary skill sets and academic piece, essentially, obtaining an accounting designation. While in that pursuit, I was promoted into more challenging positions. As a result of the promotions and working with an amazing group of people, along with the benefits afforded employees of the Manitoba government, I had no choice but to continue my career here. I have no regrets.”
