@abdullaharshad1
Results-driven Audit Associate delivering IFRS/ISA assurance with precise risk-focused audit execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Audit Professional with 2.6 years of experience at KPMG in Audit & Assurance Services. At KPMG, I supervise external audit engagements from planning through execution to completion, ensuring timely reporting deliverables aligned with financial close timelines.
I apply a risk-based approach to evaluate financial reporting processes—reviewing account balances, reconciliations, and supporting schedules to validate accuracy and completeness. I execute ISA-compliant audit procedures, perform walkthroughs of financial close processes, and assess internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) for design and operating effectiveness.
I also strengthen reporting quality through IFRS-focused technical work, liaising with accounting and independence teams for journal entry validation and compliance. I review group reporting packages and test SOX compliance over financial reporting, and I take pride in building client relationships while mentoring junior staff.
