Mr. Munholland is a Chartered Accountant (Ontario) with over 30 years of experience in the financial markets.  Returning from a four-year volunteer experience as a secondary school teacher in Zambia, he earned his professional accounting designation at Thorne Riddell (now KPMG).  He then moved into the banking sector and joined Bank of Montreal in Corporate and Government Banking.  Expanding his banking experience, he accepted a position in the Treasury Division where he focused his attention on risk management using financial derivatives.

His success in banking led to an offer to join Manulife Financial where he was asked to set up and manage a new financial risk management desk.  The resultant program was so successful, that Manulife expanded it to include additional areas of risk management and invited Mr. Munholland to participate in a special task force mandated to reconfigure the Company’s asset liability management programs.  This led to his recruitment to Deutsche Bank Canada where he was made Senior Vice President and Treasurer.  He was also asked to serve on the Board of Directors for Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Canada.  During his tenure, Deutsche Bank grew to be the second largest foreign bank in Canada generating a consolidated profit that exceeded that of the US operations.

Turning his attention to the hedge fund industry, Mr. Munholland established his own fund, which traded in currencies and related derivatives.  Achieving a modest level of success, the fund was sold to a private group in Chicago, which allowed Mr. Munholland to accept an offer to become CEO of Bermuda Commercial Bank in Hamilton, Bermuda.  While in Bermuda, he served on the Board of Directors of the Bermuda Stock Exchange and was a member of a select committee organized by the Bermuda Monetary Authority to re-write the Bank Act to comply with the Basel standards on prudence and risk management.

Returning to Canada, Mr. Munholland managed his own consulting firm while operating as a partner in Cahill International.  Cahill centered on large, international deals while his own firm focused on turn-around situations as well as financial management and risk management problems for small and medium size clients.  This experience turned his attention toward the Asset Based Lending industry as a source of funding for some of his clients.  His audit and risk management knowledge allowed him to gain a level of expertise that led him to form Lowell Douglas Limited in partnership with Mr. Steve Ryan.

Mr. Munholland holds a B.Sc. in zoology and psychology from McGill University, a B.Comm. and MBA in accounting and finance from the University of Windsor and a CA designation.  He is a member in good standing of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.

Mr. Wilson is an accountant and financial planner with over 20 years of experience in the financial markets.  After completing his Bachelor of Commerce degree at Laurentian University, he started his working career as a staff accountant at Clarkson Gordon (now Ernst & Young).  Having honed his accounting skills to a high level of proficiency, he moved to England where he provided private consulting services to clients such as British Gas, Schlumberger, and Chase Manhattan Securities. 

Returning to Canada, Mr. Wilson joined Revenue Canada where he worked as an Auditor in the Goods and Services Division and where he completed the Canadian Securities Course while working full time.  In addition to regular tax audits, he assumed responsibility for the development of audit programs that were used to investigate the underground economy in the construction and restaurant industries.

Having developed a strong interest in financial planning services, Mr. Wilson added to his knowledge base by taking industry-approved courses in Financial Planning and Wealth Management Techniques.  He then established his own professional services firm to provide financial planning, corporate and personal tax planning and investment strategy services to clients in the greater Toronto area.  While developing his client base, Mr. Wilson was asked to provide support services to an ABL audit firm from the US that carried out field examinations in Canada.

His professional background and history of achievement generated an inducement to join Lowell Douglas Limited as one of the Company’s first staff members.  Mr. Wilson has proven himself to be particularly adept at asset based lending audits and has also demonstrated an exceptional talent in relationship and dispute management.

Her duties included the planning, execution, reporting and wrap up of various audits and assisted in the establishment of integrated audits (end-to-end review of a banking product).

Her talents were recognized by Equitable Bank where she was hired as Director, Internal Audit. Here she led the planning, execution and reporting activities for regulatory focused audits and operational engagements. Part of her mandate was to assist in the development and completion of the annual audit plan which was reviewed and approved at the Board level.

The Covid pandemic moved Ms. Banzon to establish her own private business outside the audit field. She and her partner developed the new business to the point where it could run efficiently with less of her time. As a result, she turned back to the audit field where she joined Lowell Douglas Limited.
