Over 15 years of working experience in IT and information systems auditing and having just completed a master of philosophy degree in IT governance, Bella Sekhwela is driven by a need to influence and see change towards better IT risk management and a matured IT control environment, as well as fluent adaptation to the ever evolving technology requirements. Her passion lies in IT governance, risk and compliance to laws and regulations, which she believes need to be well adopted in order for businesses to become empowered to drive and understand IT and related programmes and projects. Over the years of her auditing career, Sekhwela has seen that proper application of IT governance enables business agility and effective IT integration in businesses that allowed adaptation to digitalisation. Over her career, Sekhwela has performed external and internal auditing work, where she was exposed to general concepts of IT auditing like information security, business continuity, disaster recovery, data analytics, projects and programme assurance, IT governance and strategy as well as enterprise architecture.
