My focus is advancing and transforming data and analytics capabilities to drive audit services, which includes advancing our delivery of repeatable and self-service foundational analytics and deploying more advanced analytics and automation of the audit process.I am looked to for thought leadership on advancing our capabilities and relied on to build strong partnerships with both audit and business leaders to understand the needs, importance, and the possibility of advancement of audit services using data & analytics.
