IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading full-scope, risk-based audits for international banks at EY GDS India, covering financial risks, complex processes, and control environments across Europe and Australia.
I develop audit approaches and test plans, evaluate control design and operating effectiveness, and conduct statutory and financial audits of credit portfolios. My work includes loan file reviews, SPPI assessments, impairment reviews, and IFRS 9 compliance testing.
I've built AI-powered automation for LFR and SPPI audit workpapers, achieving up to 90% efficiency gains while improving exception identification and reducing budgeted audit effort. I use data analytics, AI-assisted tools, Copilot, Generative AI, Python, VBA, and automation while validating outputs for accuracy and business relevance.
I've also delivered statutory, tax, internal, receivables, debtor, and stock audits across SMEs, hospitality, manufacturing, and banking. I translate audit evidence into actionable recommendations, work closely with stakeholders on remediation, and share technical training on IFRS 9, audit methodologies, LFR, and automation.
