Keetan Naidoo
- Senior Manager - Financial Services Advisory
- 8+ years experience
"My commitment extends beyond the execution of audit procedures. I will work closely with Sanlam stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Group's business, technology landscape, and key strategic initiatives to ensure that the audit remains focused on the areas of greatest relevance and risk.
Drawing on my experience supporting technology assurance engagements across the financial services sector, including work performed at AfroCentric Technologies, I bring practical knowledge of the governance expectations, and technology-related risks applicable to complex financial services organisations. This experience will enable me to contribute valuable industry perspectives and help ensure that the audit approach is appropriately tailored to Sanlam's operating environment.
I am committed to maintaining open and timely communication throughout the engagement, fostering effective collaboration between the audit team, management, and other stakeholders. Through a focus on audit quality, technical excellence, and professional scepticism, I will support the delivery of an independent and robust audit while contributing to an efficient and well-coordinated engagement experience."
