Audit that finds
what samples miss

01

Population-Level Audit Testing

Using SQL and data pipelines to test entire datasets rather than samples — surfacing control failures, anomalies, and financial risk that manual audit testing would never find. Every record, not thirty.

02

Risk Visualisation & Dashboards

Building Power BI frameworks that give audit teams and leadership real-time visibility of where risk is concentrating — turning audit findings into decision-ready intelligence rather than static reports.

03

Audit Process Automation

Automating the data extraction, validation, and testing workflows that slow audit functions down — reducing time from data to finding and improving consistency of evidence across every engagement.

Impact highlights

Work that moved the needle

$3.1M
Population-Level Financial Recovery

Inherited an $11.1M income variance. Executed population-level data reconciliation across 130,000+ records — identifying patterns of systematic control failure that sample-based testing would not have detected. Designed a data-driven remediation framework that recovered $3.1M within 8 months.

Data-Driven Compliance Transformation

Monthly automated KPI analysis across the full compliance dataset identified a control gap that periodic manual review had missed for years. Audited the programme at 30% compliance, diagnosed the root cause through structured data analysis, and built the SLA framework that drove compliance above 75%.

$1.3M
Automated Control Monitoring

The procurement function had no automated monitoring of financial commitments against contractor capacity — a control gap creating $1.3M annual budget exposure. Built a data pipeline and Power BI dashboard that eliminated the control weakness through automated monitoring rather than manual review.

Regulatory Assurance and Evidence Strategy

Led the evidence and controls strategy ahead of a statutory regulatory inspection. Validated compliance across all business areas using structured audit methodology, coordinated corrective actions across departments, and achieved a 4-star regulatory rating — avoiding regulatory cost sanctions.

The people behind
the numbers

How I find what the
data is hiding

i.

Understand the control environment first

Before building any model I map the business process, the controls that should be operating, and the risks they're designed to mitigate. Understanding the full system means I'm testing the right things — not just running queries against the obvious.

ii.

Test populations, not samples

I use SQL and data pipelines to test entire datasets. Every transaction, every record, every exception. Anomalies that live outside a 30-item sample — the ones that represent the real risk — become visible when you look at everything.

iii.

Model the risk, quantify the impact

Once anomalies are identified I build the quantitative case — what is the financial exposure, what is the probability of recurrence, what does the control weakness actually cost the organisation? Findings without numbers are observations. Findings with numbers are evidence.

iv.

Deliver findings that drive decisions

An audit report that sits on a shelf has failed. I build the Power BI visualisations, the executive summaries, and the recommendation frameworks that make findings impossible to ignore — turning audit work into organisational action.
