What I'm looking for

I’m looking to provide accounting, control, compliance and operational systems support to a fast-growing, dynamic, reputable organization—where I’ll face meaningful challenges, develop people, and gain intellectual exposure.

I’m a seasoned Internal Audit, Risk Management, Internal Control and Compliance professional with over 20 years of experience in accounting, financial controls, operational audits, risk assessment, and corporate governance. I’ve focused on ensuring ethical standards are upheld through internal evaluations, risk assessments, corrective actions, and clear documentation of audit and compliance activities.

In my current role as a Risk and Compliance Officer (Dec 2024–Present), I advise on regulatory requirements, respond to detected offenses, and promote integrity, ethics, and accountability across the organization through compliance training and cross-functional collaboration. Previously, as a Senior Internal Auditor and Advisory (Nov 2017–Nov 2024) and earlier roles in internal audit and accounting, I led financial, operational, and compliance audits, reviewed financial statements, coordinated external audits, and investigated fraud, improving internal controls and stewardship through findings and recommendations.
