I have extensive experience in internal audit processes, having worked on various audits across different industries. I am well-versed in risk-based auditing, control testing, and the development of audit programs. My methodologies include leveraging data analytics for efficiency and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. I also have experience in leading teams to deliver comprehensive audit reports and recommendations.

I prioritize tasks by assessing the criticality of audit areas and their associated risks. I create detailed project plans, allocate resources effectively, and use time management tools to track progress. I ensure timely communication with stakeholders and adjust priorities as needed to meet deadlines while maintaining audit quality.

I employ a combination of risk assessment frameworks, interviews with key stakeholders, and data analysis to identify risks. Once identified, I work with management to develop mitigation strategies, ensuring they are practical and aligned with organizational goals. I also monitor the implementation of these strategies to ensure effectiveness.

I approach conflicts with an open mind and a focus on collaboration. I listen to all perspectives, clarify misunderstandings, and work towards a mutually agreeable solution. If necessary, I escalate the issue to senior management, ensuring transparency and maintaining professionalism throughout the process.

In a previous role, I identified a significant control gap in the financial reporting process. I worked closely with the finance team to design and implement a new control framework, which not only resolved the issue but also improved overall process efficiency. The outcome was a successful audit with no material findings.
