ABOUT SILAS GYAU

As a Senior Manager in Digital Audit at PwC UK, I bring over 14 years of diverse professional experience across IT Audit, Financial Statement Audit (ISA and IFRS), Financial Investigations, Due Diligence Reviews, and Data & Analytics (D&A). My experience spans multiple markets, including the UK, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Liberia, and Ivory Coast, with a strong track record of integrating technology to enhance audit quality, efficiency, and compliance. In my current role, I focus on driving digital audit transformation by leveraging data analytics and advanced technologies to improve audit outcomes. I work across various industries, including Financial Services, FMCG, Energy, Pharmaceuticals, and Telecom, to implement innovative and rigorous audit strategies. Previously, I led the IT Audit and Data & Analytics Unit at KPMG Ghana, where I was responsible for overseeing IT controls testing, deploying Computer-Assisted Audit Tools (CAATs), and providing strategic leadership to the IT Audit team. My role involved managing complex audit engagements across multiple sectors, ensuring delivery within scope, time, and budget, while maintaining high standards of quality. I also played a key role in integrating data analytics to improve risk management and overall audit effectiveness. In addition to my IT Audit responsibilities, I served as a Senior Manager in Financial Audit at KPMG Ghana, where I managed the planning, execution, and delivery of external audits, ensuring compliance with ISA and IFRS standards across audit portfolios. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with Audit Partners, Directors, and senior stakeholders to deliver audits that meet client expectations, regulatory requirements, and promote innovation and operational excellence.
