I strengthen financial controls, reporting, and risk management across regulated industries.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I've strengthened financial reporting, internal controls, and risk management across banking, insurance, and oil and gas. At Karpowership Ghana and Promasidor, I conduct risk-based audits, investigate management requests, validate transactions, and follow up on audit recommendations.
Previously, I reduced accounting processing time by almost 75% at Shield Insurance Brokers using QuickBooks and helped deliver GHS 100,000 in budget savings. At National Investment Bank, I used T24 to cut audit data-entry and analysis time by 90% while planning audits, assessing controls, and driving corrective actions.
