Message

At SIMAFunds, I support credit and portfolio monitoring by tracking covenant compliance, assessing portfolio companies’ financial health, and flagging early-warning signals. I also review disbursement documentation and support internal audit work through control testing and follow-up.

At MeezanBank Limited, I reviewed bank-wide policies for alignment with SBP regulations and internal risk standards. I also conducted operational risk assessments, mapped controls, and prepared KRI performance reports for senior management.

At SiemensPakistanEngineering Co.LTD, I led internal audits using RIC Tool and developed Excel-based compliance tracking tools. Earlier, as a ResearchAssociate Intern at Dun & Bradstreet, I collected, cleaned, and analyzed data for 600+ companies.
