What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in risk management and compliance.

I am a detail-oriented IT Auditor and Risk Analyst with a strong focus on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). My expertise lies in conducting thorough IT audits, risk assessments, and compliance reviews to ensure adherence to regulatory standards such as SOX, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, and COBIT. I have a proven track record of evaluating IT General Controls (ITGC), identifying cybersecurity risks, and enhancing organizational resilience through effective risk management strategies.

Currently, I work at PWC, Ghana, where I conduct IT audits and risk assessments to evaluate security controls and regulatory compliance. My role involves assessing cybersecurity policies, identifying and mitigating risks, and ensuring compliance with various regulatory standards. I utilize risk management tools and audit software to prepare detailed reports and provide actionable insights to senior management, helping organizations improve their security frameworks and mitigate potential risks.
