What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in risk management and compliance.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented Chartered Accountant (CA) with over 10 years of expertise in audits, SOX compliance, risk assessments, and ITGC/ITAC audits. My strategic thinking and strong leadership skills have enabled me to successfully implement industry standards such as COBIT, NIST, HITRUST, and ISO 27001. I have a proven track record in digital transformation initiatives and emerging technologies, focusing on strengthening internal controls and ensuring regulatory compliance for global clients.

In my current role as a Senior Associate at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), I provide risk assurance services and lead a multi-location IT audit team. My experience includes conducting audits of technology controls and managing stakeholder relationships to ensure smooth project execution. I have also worked with leading firms like Capgemini and KPMG, where I conducted SOX ITGC assessments and integrated audits, respectively. My key achievements include identifying and mitigating revenue leakage and preparing enterprise risk management frameworks.
