Group Internal Audit Service Director at National Cement Joint Venture, overseeing group audits and reporting findings to Audit Committees.

Ethiopia

Message

At National Cement Joint Venture, I lead the group internal audit function across the company and its subsidiaries. I plan and deliver risk-based audits, report findings to Audit Committees and senior management, and track corrective actions.

I also oversee governance, compliance and internal control frameworks across the group. My systems assessments cover ERP, weighbridge and operational systems, and I lead investigations and reconciliations of operational and sales variances.

At East African Holding S.C., I held group risk and compliance, performance and system audit, and finance consolidation and reporting responsibilities. I led operational and system audits and consolidated financial data for 14 group companies.

Earlier, as a Senior External Auditor at Getachew Benalfew & Co, I developed audit plans, conducted risk assessments and audited in line with professional standards and Ethiopian laws and regulations. I hold a B.A. in Accounting and certifications in FMVA and IFRS.
