Summary

With 12 years of valuable working experience, including 8 years in the IT Audit field, I bring a wealth of expertise as an IT Audit Manager at RSM South Africa. Holding the certification of Information Systems Auditor, I possess a strong understanding of the COBIT Framework.

My industry knowledge has been cultivated through my tenure at Deloitte and the AGSA, where I gained extensive experience in both the private and public sectors. Additionally, I had the opportunity to expand my skills during a secondment in the United Kingdom (England) in 2015/2016. A self-motivated individual with a drive for new challenges and opportunities, I am eager to leverage my experience to make a significant impact.
