What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a control, audit, or compliance role where I can strengthen internal control frameworks, detect fraud risks, and produce audit-ready reporting. I want disciplined governance, cross-functional collaboration, and measurable improvements in accountability.

I’m an Office Technology and Management professional recognized for administrative excellence, compliance governance, and security operations awareness. My background is grounded in Office Technology & Management, supported by applied security administration training from the Police College, Ikeja.

Currently, I leverage a specialized capacity for fraud detection as a Control Officer at Harvest Group of Companies in Zambia. I coordinate internal audit and control assessments, evaluate control frameworks across financial, procurement, and operations, and escalate findings through structured reports to senior management.

Previously, I strengthened operational integrity through administrative redesign and digital record-keeping at K.O Express Logistics, and supported executive operations as a Personal Assistant at NYSC Directorate HQ, Abuja. Across legal and logistics environments, I focus on digital documentation, audit-ready records, ethical leadership, and actionable risk management that improves transparency and accountability.
