Message

At Riaz Ahmad & Company Chartered Accountants, I manage concurrent audit and assurance engagements from planning through audit report issuance. I develop risk-based audit strategies and review financial statements for compliance with IFRS, ISAs, and regulatory requirements.

I lead multidisciplinary teams of 30–40 professionals across engagements in sectors including power and utilities, manufacturing, telecommunications, public sector, and NGOs. I also present audit findings and significant accounting judgements to audit committees and boards.

I led the firm's transition from manual audit documentation to audit software, standardizing working papers and shortening review turnaround. I also steered the firm through ICAP's Quality Control Review, which received a satisfactory rating.

Earlier, at Crowe Hussain Chaudhury & Co., I worked across external and internal audits, prepared audit reports, and presented findings to executive teams. I also trained fresh trainees in audit and assurance and accounting.
