About Ankita Jha

I’m currently working as a Risk Advisor in Global Banking Markets, building a career at the intersection of audit, risk management, and data analytics.My professional journey began at EY, where I worked on audit and assurance engagements for some of the UK’s largest private banks. This experience sharpened my ability to identify key risk exposures, particularly in anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and financial reporting, while strengthening my attention to detail and regulatory understanding.I later transitioned to Amazon, where I expanded beyond traditional finance into a fast-paced, customer-focused environment. As an HMD Advocate, I consistently delivered weekly operational analysis reports for leadership and stepped into a mentorship role within six months—enhancing my leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.Currently, in my role as a Risk Advisor within Global Banking Markets, I focus on identifying, assessing, and mitigating financial and regulatory risks in complex banking environments. I work closely with stakeholders to evaluate control effectiveness, support risk frameworks, and contribute to data-driven decision-making in line with evolving regulatory expectations.In parallel, my experience at BT Group as a Human Resources Advisor strengthened my ability to drive analytics-led process improvements. I led initiatives that increased employee engagement by 25%, leveraging data to uncover inefficiencies and streamline reporting processes—skills that directly translate to audit strategy and control evaluation.I’m passionate about applying a risk-based approach to uncover patterns, assess exposures, and support informed decision-making. With proficiency in Python, SQL, and data visualization tools, I enjoy working with complex datasets—because every number tells a story when viewed through a risk lens.Outside of work, I actively keep up with developments in audit technology and regulatory compliance, continuously learning to stay ahead in a field where precision, ethics, and innovation intersect.If you\'re interested in collaborating on risk analytics, control risk assessment, or discussing emerging regulatory challenges, feel free to connect or reach out.
