Certified external auditor specialized in IFRS compliance and audits.
What I'm looking for
I am a certified external auditor with an ACCA Diploma in International Financial Reporting (DipIFR) and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Auditing. I have progressed from associate auditor roles to assistant manager, leading audits across multiple industries and ensuring compliance with IFRS and ISA.
My experience includes hands-on audit planning, risk assessment, testing of internal controls (D&I and OE), preparation and review of financial statements, and fiscal declarations including corporate tax, VAT, and payroll taxes. I have trained and mentored junior staff and maintained strong client relationships while identifying process inefficiencies and recommending improvements.
I bring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, integrity, and adaptability, and I am committed to delivering accurate, independent opinions on financial reporting while supporting teams to improve performance and compliance.
