About Us
Audit Analytics, Automation & Innovation
- Lead Internal Audit's data analytics, automation, and technology innovation initiatives, including the ongoing development and execution of the department's technology roadmap.
- Design, build, and maintain SQL-based analytical models to support audit engagements — including population testing, anomaly detection, trend analysis, and control effectiveness assessment.
- Analyse data to identify and implement analytics, automation, and reporting solutions that provide meaningful insight and improve the effectiveness of audit planning and execution across the audit universe.
- Embed analytics into audit methodology and related processes, including risk assessment, audit planning, scoping, fieldwork, exception analysis, issue impact quantification, corrective action validation, and reporting.
- Drive automation opportunities that streamline audit procedures, improve consistency, and reduce manual effort across Internal Audit activities.
- Transform raw data from multiple sources (data warehouse, blockchain, internal systems) into audit-ready datasets and quantified findings.
- Provide data-driven evidence and quantitative analysis to support audit conclusions, replacing or supplementing traditional sample-based testing with full-population analytics.
Operational Risk & Fraud Risk Radar
- Collaborate with Business Audit Director to design and operate the Fraud Risk Radar programme — a proactive fraud surveillance framework that detects suspicious employee wallet activity, kickback patterns, dual employment signals, and affiliate commission manipulation in near real-time.
- Develop and maintain continuous monitoring dashboards and automated alert systems to detect control failures, policy violations, and emerging operational risks.
- Define monitoring rules and thresholds in collaboration with audit leads, calibrated to the company's risk appetite and operational context.
- Investigate and triage alerts, escalating confirmed exceptions to audit or investigation teams with supporting data packages.
- Support forensic and ad-hoc investigations with rapid data extraction, pattern analysis, and evidence packaging.
AI & Advanced Analytics
- Apply advanced analytical techniques (anomaly detection, clustering, predictive modelling) to identify patterns, outliers, and emerging risks across business operations.
- Explore and implement AI/ML-driven tools to enhance audit efficiency — including natural language processing for contract/document review, and automated risk scoring.
- Stay current with developments in data engineering, AI, and blockchain analytics to continuously evolve the team's analytical capability.
Data Management, Reporting & Technology Enablement
- Design and develop processes to extract data from internal and external sources, transform the data into meaningful business and audit-relevant elements, combine data across sources, and load data into appropriate data structures for analysis and reporting.
- Support audit teams through onboarding new data sets, maintaining existing data sets, and enabling continued access to relevant systems, dashboards, and reporting solutions.
- Develop metrics, key risk indicators, key performance indicators, dashboards, and other reporting solutions to make data-driven insights available to audit teams and leadership.
- Provide production support for data-related processes to ensure business continuity, performance, and integrity of reports, dashboards, automations, and other data solutions.
Business Partnership & Collaboration
- Partner with audit leads to translate business risks and audit objectives into data requirements and analytical approaches.
- Work collaboratively with IT teams, internal business partners and audit teams to identify, understand, implement, and support new technology capabilities while maintaining alignment to Internal Audit objectives.
- Maintain and enhance analytics that support business audits, nvestigations, compliance audits, and IT audits.
- Work with Data Engineering and IT teams to secure data access, ensure data quality, and maintain pipeline reliability.
