Internal Audit & IT Risk Advisor with over 20 years of experience operating at the Director and Chief Audit Executive level across financial services, insurance, and regulated public sector environments. I work with organizations to assess and strengthen governance, internal control effectiveness, and technology-related risk, particularly where IT underpins financial reporting, operations, and regulatory compliance. My focus includes IT general controls, cyber and information security governance, audit committee reporting, and enterprise risk alignment.I provide independent, risk-based insight to executive leadership and Audit Committees, translating complex control environments into clear, decision-relevant perspectives. Engagements typically include ITGC assessments, internal audit plan development, audit function reviews, and evaluation of control design and operating effectiveness. The objective is to identify control gaps, surface systemic risk themes, and support practical, sustainable remediation aligned with professional standards.My background includes leading internal audit functions with direct reporting to Audit Committees, delivering enterprise-level assurance across operational, financial, and technology domains. I have worked closely with Boards, regulators, and external auditors in environments where audit independence, judgment, and credibility are critical.In parallel, I contribute to the profession through teaching and development of audit and governance curriculum grounded in current practice. This work reinforces alignment with evolving standards, emerging risks, and the application of technology in audit and assurance.
