What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive SOX 404 and ITGC programs end-to-end—risk-based scoping, control testing, clear MAPs, and strong audit evidence—while partnering with auditors, IT, and senior stakeholders to strengthen governance and compliance.

I’m a results-driven IT Audit and SOX Compliance professional with 5+ years of experience focused on IT General Controls (ITGC), IT Application Controls (ITAC), and SOX 404 compliance. At Tata Consultancy Services, I lead end-to-end SOX programs—scoping, risk assessment, testing, and deficiency evaluation—across multiple clients and ERP platforms (Oracle, SAP, AWS).

I execute ITGC walkthroughs and control testing across core domains including Change Management, Logical Access, Physical Security, and Segregation of Duties (SoD). I also perform SoD conflict detection and monitoring in high-volume transactional systems, then translate findings into clear audit observations and corrective action recommendations for senior leadership and Audit Committees.

My work is grounded in practical governance frameworks such as COBIT, COSO, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, supported by hands-on expertise with Oracle Database, SAP, SQL, Windows/UNIX/Linux, and AWS Cloud Console. I maintain audit-quality evidence and documentation trails, prepare executive-ready audit reports (risk ratings, root-cause analysis, observations, and MAPs), and coordinate with internal teams and external auditors to resolve queries efficiently.

I’m also comfortable evaluating third-party vendor SOX compliance and assessing relevant IT controls in outsourced environments. With an earlier background spanning compliance and financial operations—including AML/KYC and order-to-cash in SAP—I bring a disciplined, control-focused approach to risk assessment, remediation management, and sustained internal control integrity.
