I am a dedicated accountant currently working with the Ghana Armed Forces, where I ensure timely compensation for over 1,000 personnel. My role involves improving payroll accuracy through efficient processing and maintaining precise records for promotions and salary adjustments. I take pride in overseeing the deletion of accounts for employees who vacate posts, ensuring a seamless transition while adhering to financial regulations.
Previously, I served as a National Service Personnel in the Audit department, where I conducted audits of vehicle fuel consumption and invoices, verifying accuracy and compliance with organizational policies.
