Audit Analytics
Structured analysis, not just observation writing
I use reconciliations, exception categorisation, ageing analysis, ownership mapping, role-access comparisons, and follow-up trackers to make audit work traceable, repeatable, and management-ready.
This strengthens the audit narrative: what was tested, why it matters, who owns the action, what evidence supports closure, and whether similar themes are recurring.
Working outputs
- Exception logic and rule-based testing
- Access matrix and role-mapping comparisons
- Ageing, ownership and status trackers
- Reconciliation and variance summaries
- Management-ready audit dashboards and packs

Development areas
- Structured audit templates
- Capability-led portfolio themes
- Anonymized case themes
- Reporting and follow-up workflows
- Audit analytics approaches
