José Tabuena is vice president of governance and compliance with MedicalEdge Healthcare Group, Inc.. He offers a unique perspective on internal auditing issues bringing Big 4 firm experience and having held a variety of audit-related roles, including compliance auditor, risk manager, corporate counsel and chief compliance officer. Both in-house and as a consultant, Tabuena has conducted sensitive internal investigations and assessed the performance of internal audit and ethics and compliance programs in highly regulated industries.
José joined MedicalEdge in March 2008 serving as the organization’s Chief Ethics, Compliance and Privacy Officer reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board. In this role he is responsible for developing and implementing a compliance management system designed to help ensure that employees are observing pertinent laws and regulations in their work. José is further responsible for articulating and promoting a broader set of aspirational standards that serve as practical guidance for ethical decision-making for the workforce. As Corporate Secretary, he oversees governance activities and serves as the primary liaison between the Board and Management. These roles are intended to facilitate the company in developing leading corporate compliance and governance practices.
Prior to his current role, José spent over 5 years at Big 4 accounting and consulting firms utilizing his legal and fraud examination experience to conduct sensitive fraud and misconduct investigations as well as compliance audits and reviews of compliance programs. For audit clients he provided technical expertise on Sarbanes-Oxley 404 and SAS 99 reviews particularly on entity-level controls and the control environment. From the breadth of this experiences, Mr. Tabuena’s interests has gravitated from the defense of lawsuits and the performance of reactive investigations, to the development of proactive antifraud and compliance programs. At Deloitte LLP, he served a two year stint at their US firm’s Center for Corporate Governance coordinating firm resources and promoting education on governance issues, trends, and best practices. José has performed research and delivered numerous presentations on corporate governance topics while at the Center, and has assisted company boards on their roles and duties.
Mr. Tabuena received his J.D. from U.C. Berkeley and is certified in healthcare compliance (CHC) and as a fraud examiner (CFE).

Currently, he is a regular guest columnist for Compliance week on internal audit issues.
