About
The audit mindset,
with the business lens.
Public Accounting Foundation
Began at Kochar & Associates executing 20+ statutory audits across banking, government, and nonprofit clients under IFRS and ICAI standards. Built the technical foundation — risk assessment, control testing, substantive procedures, CaseWare documentation — that every auditor relies on.
Multinational Operations

IT Audit & Analytics
MS in Accounting & Analytics (STEM) at Seattle University added IT audit, SOC 2 Type II, fraud analytics, and data-driven audit methodology. Led a live SOC 2 readiness engagement for Ellucian — mapping 15+ ITGCs to AICPA Trust Services Criteria with zero workpaper revisions.
