About

I help organizations strengthen financial integrity, detect fraud risks early, and build control environments that support confident decision-making. I am a Chartered Accountant working as a Consultant within Financial Services at Ernst & Young, with experience across fraud risk assessment, AML compliance, risk frameworks, and data-driven control reviews within the BFSI sector. My work focuses on bridging risk, finance, and operations by translating complex financial and transactional data into actionable business insights.

Core consulting experience includes: • Designing Fraud Risk Frameworks through process walk-throughs, control testing, and SOP development • Performing KYC/AML reviews, Customer Due Diligence (CDD/EDD), and monitoring money mule risks • Building Risk & Control Self-Assessments (RCSA) and enterprise risk-rating methodologies • Benchmarking business processes against regulatory expectations and industry best practices • Supporting digital transformation initiatives by automating onboarding validations and reducing operational turnaround time During my articleship with Agrawal Kanhere Associates, I gained multi-industry exposure across statutory audits, internal audits, taxation, and World Bank–funded assignments, strengthening my foundation in financial reporting, controls evaluation, and regulatory compliance. I enjoy working in high-ambiguity consulting environments where analytical thinking, stakeholder collaboration, and structured problem solving drive measurable outcomes. Open to connecting with consulting leaders, recruiters, and professionals in risk, forensics, and finance transformation.
