What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, a collaborative culture, and the chance to lead impactful audit projects.

I am a dedicated auditing professional currently serving as an Assistant Manager at Ernst and Young Global Delivery Services in Gurugram, Haryana. With a proven track record of leading engagement teams in financial audits, I excel in executing substantive audits in accordance with IFRS and UK GAAP. My role involves meticulous audit planning, risk identification, and the formulation of effective audit approaches, ensuring that all objectives are met efficiently.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in the planning, execution, and reporting phases of audits. I take pride in my ability to analyze client records thoroughly, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards. My commitment to quality control is reflected in my review of audit work papers and the preparation of comprehensive financial statements and management letters. I also prioritize building strong client relationships and mentoring junior team members in auditing techniques.
