Freelancer Overview

I am an experienced risk and control professional with over 15 years of experience providing assurance across the financial services industry, including banks, asset managers, hedge funds, private equity, and investment funds. I am currently a Vice President in Internal Audit at a major global investment bank in London, where I lead complex risk-based audits across EMEA legal entities to evaluate the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control frameworks. I am responsible for managing end-to-end internal audit engagements, including planning, risk assessment, fieldwork execution, reporting, and validation of remediation actions for high-risk and regulatory issues. I am actively involved in governance forums and committees where I provide risk insights, present audit findings, and contribute to discussions on emerging regulatory and operational risks. I am experienced in auditing complex regulatory frameworks and operational areas such as transaction reporting, operational resilience, payments regulation, data protection, and client asset protection. I am a former Internal Audit Manager at Ernst & Young in London where I delivered outsourced and co-sourced internal audit services to investment banks, asset managers, and financial services firms. I am skilled in managing audit engagements, conducting risk assessments, developing remediation plans, and providing value-added recommendations to strengthen internal controls and governance processes. I am also experienced in technology and operational risk audits, including testing application controls, general IT controls, and supporting regulatory remediation validation across trading and banking businesses. I am a qualified professional holding several globally recognised certifications including ACA, CISA, CRISC, CFSA, CFE, and CIA, which support my expertise in audit, risk management, and financial services assurance. I am committed to strengthening organisational governance, improving control environments, and supporting senior leadership in managing risk effectively within complex and highly regulated financial institutions.
