@ritawatson
Forensic risk and internal controls associate driving data-led fraud prevention and governance.
I am a results-oriented forensic risk professional with hands-on experience in forensic investigations, KYC, and internal control reviews. I combine analytical rigor with strong attention to detail to identify anomalies, quantify financial loss, and recommend control improvements.
At KPMG I performed KYC procedures, reviewed electronic and paper documentation for investigations, executed data-analytic procedures on transactional datasets, and produced comprehensive fraud examination reports. I also handled whistleblower reports confidentially and supported training delivery on Ethics & Integrity and Anti-Bribery & Corruption.
Previously I managed day-to-day accounting activities including cash counts and bank reconciliations, and supported marketing and administrative operations in earlier roles. I bring proven teamwork, strong communication, and client-facing experience across fast-paced environments.
I am completing an MSc in Business Analytics and pursuing ACCA accreditation while leveraging tools such as Tableau, IDEA, Xero and Power BI to drive insights and transformation. I seek opportunities to strengthen governance, enhance controls, and deliver measurable improvements in risk management.
