• Cyclical Auditing: Conduct periodic, high-impact audits of financial and operational processes to verify the integrity of transactions and the accuracy of reconciliations.

• Gap Identification: Proactively identify control weaknesses and financial risks, utilizing data-driven analysis to pinpoint areas prone to error or unauthorized activity.

• Transaction Verification: Perform deep-dive reviews of supporting documentation for high-value transactions, ensuring absolute adherence to the company's "Delegation of Authority."

3. Reporting & Strategic Remediation

• Actionable Reporting: Prepare detailed audit and risk assessment reports for management, translating complex findings into clear, prioritized, and actionable recommendations.

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Collaborate with the Finance and Operations teams to implement remediation plans, ensuring that identified gaps are closed and control systems are permanently strengthened.

• Compliance Monitoring: Maintain a continuous monitoring loop to ensure all staff remain in strict adherence to company policies and evolving statutory requirements.

Qualifications and Skills:
