Arfan is well versed in the area of IT audit with also the capability to perform business reviews. As well as having impressive subject matter expertise, Arfan's general approach to work is very professional, diligent and comprehensive. Unlike many other auditors, Aran has the ability to clearly make linkages between risk, impact and whether the observation really matters at all.
