IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently leading IT audits at KPMG Global Services for Australia-based clients, covering ITGC, ITAC, SOC, and SOX engagements. I assess access management, change management, and IT operations controls while coordinating risk assessment, testing, and audit reporting.
Before KPMG, I worked across EY, Deloitte, and Genpact on technology risk, IT assurance, internal controls, and compliance initiatives. At EY, I supported an AI-driven T&E monitoring and automation tool, developed internal control frameworks, and helped secure an RFP development and project management engagement.
At Deloitte and EY, I led SOC and FAIT engagements, evaluated SAP, Oracle, and non-SAP controls, performed gap assessments and pre-implementation reviews, and delivered IT audit and security training. I've also worked with clients across manufacturing, IT services, oil and gas, telecom, healthcare, and financial services in India and the Middle East.
I bring experience in risk-based analytics, fraud and compliance monitoring, business process reviews, control gap analysis, and stakeholder collaboration across international teams. I'm recognized for innovative problem-solving and for contributing to strong risk, compliance, and audit outcomes.
