What I'm looking for
At Truist, I lead risk-based audits that evaluate control effectiveness, remediation activities, and business processes. I use data-driven testing and process analysis to identify control weaknesses and root causes, then present actionable findings to management.
At Wells Fargo, I led complex Risk and Control Self-Assessments and issue management activities, helping identify emerging risks and strengthen controls. Earlier, I created dashboards at Citibank to track KYC and AML quality trends and support reporting accuracy.
