What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue leading risk, compliance, and audit initiatives where I can strengthen control frameworks, improve governance and audit readiness, train teams, and turn complex risk findings into actionable enterprise decisions.

At Accenture, I lead risk and compliance initiatives across global operations, strengthening audit processes through standardized templates, issue tracking, and quality assurance for audit documentation.

I've supervised R&C audits for outsourced projects, testing controls across data security, operational excellence, contractual compliance, fraud prevention, and regulatory requirements. I also coordinate SOC audits between external auditors and operations teams, while training team members on methodology and documentation.

My background spans risk management at WNS Global Services and internal audit and finance-control assignments at Mazars and Aryan Castings. As a Chartered Accountant and ACMA, I translate risk findings into actionable controls, governance improvements, and long-term mitigation strategies.
