What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my audit, risk, compliance, cybersecurity, and data-analysis experience to strengthen controls, improve efficiency, and manage emerging business risks.

I'm currently strengthening risk and compliance at Accenture in Portugal, identifying emerging risks, analyzing performance data, supporting audits and investigations, and updating compliance policies and risk-management frameworks.

At Andersen, I led internal audit, enterprise risk, forensic, and IT governance engagements. I managed client projects, mentored junior staff, assessed controls, and delivered audit reports with clear findings, risks, and recommendations.

My work spans COSO, SOX, IFRS, ISA, ISO 27001, ISO 27002, ISO 27005, COBIT, ITIL, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC assessments. I've also investigated IT security incidents and fraud-related matters while recommending improvements to governance, controls, and operational efficiency.

Earlier, I led internal audit and control work at Rich-Oak Investment & Advisory and external audits at Kunle Egbeleke & Co. As a Chartered Accountant and Certified Forensic Analyst, I use financial, risk, and data-analysis skills to improve compliance and business efficiency.
