SOLUTIONS Pushpinder PROVIDES 

Significant projects

• Pushpinder assisted a major financial services organisation with an independent assessment of its enterprise risk management framework and control environment. The engagement involved reviewing governance arrangements, evaluating the effectiveness of risk management practices and testing key controls across the business. The work provided senior leadership with greater confidence in the organisation's control environment while identifying practical opportunities to strengthen governance and improve operational resilience.
• He has led numerous high-profile internal audit engagements across the financial services sector as Engagement Partner, supporting organisations from emerging institutions through to some of the largest and most complex market participants. These engagements delivered improvements in governance, risk management, regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and control effectiveness.
• He also developed comprehensive Controls Assurance Frameworks for the Risk Function at a large Australian Life Insurer, as well as at a major Australian Health Insurer. This included establishing governance policies, procedures and minimum control standards to create greater consistency across the organisation. The framework enabled the business to strengthen oversight, improve accountability and support ongoing regulatory compliance.
• Throughout his career, Pushpinder has led numerous targeted internal control reviews as well as APRA thematic reviews for large Australian financial services organisations. These projects involved identifying control weaknesses across critical business processes, recommending practical remediation strategies and helping organisations embed stronger governance practices. The result has been improved control effectiveness and regulatory compliance, reduced operational risk and increased confidence among boards, regulators and executive management.
• Pushpinder also enjoys helping clients navigate broader business challenges beyond regulatory compliance. One particularly rewarding engagement involved supporting a business owner through a period of significant growth and succession planning. By coordinating specialists from across RSM and helping develop a clear strategic roadmap, he provided practical guidance that gave the client confidence to make informed long-term decisions.
