Atomic Habits
AN IDEA TO CARRY FORWARD
Make a good habit easy to start and repeat. A workable routine matters more than a burst of motivation.
A LITTLE CONTEXT. A LITTLE CHARACTER.
I’m Abbhuday, an IT auditor working in technology risk. Outside work, I read, teach and make time for people starting out in audit.
01 / FROM SYSTEMS TO PERSPECTIVES
My foundation is a dual degree from NMIMS: an MBA in Technology Management and a B.Tech. in Computer Engineering, specialising in Deep Learning. It helps me connect how a system operates with why a control matters.
I work in Big 4 technology risk, supporting IT audit engagements across global and Indian financial services. My experience spans banking, asset management, and payments.
That means asking how applications support financial reporting, testing automated controls, and understanding what happens to the control environment when systems change.
I’m interested in what AI and automation change about audit: the risks they introduce, the evidence we need and the questions we should ask.

✳IT audit & technology risk
✳Career mentoring
THE PERSPECTIVE
In banking, asset management and payments, the systems differ. The work still starts with understanding the risk, asking the right questions and finding evidence you can rely on.
Here, I share what I’m learning, teach the practical side of audit, and make time for people finding their way into the profession.

Top down risk assessments and the role of technology in financial reporting.
Application migration governance and control continuity through system change.
A growing focus on AI governance, automation, and their implications for assurance.
04 / BEYOND AUDIT
Books, poetry and conversations that change my mind keep me curious. I also care about social work and finding ways to be useful beyond my day job.
Mentoring gives me a way to share what I’ve learned with students and people starting their careers. Sometimes it helps just to talk a question through with someone who has been there.
