What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an internal audit or compliance-and-risk role where I can run risk-based missions, strengthen internal controls, and deliver actionable reporting across public finance or regulated banking—especially around trade finance, FX, and cross-border payments.

I am an internal audit professional with a track record across public financial governance and commercial banking controls. At Cameroon’s Directorate General of Taxes, I deliver 6–10 independent audit missions annually across decentralised service units, personally auditing 19 units to date and maintaining a 70% audit recommendation implementation rate.

I apply the TADAT diagnostic framework to assess legislative compliance, financial record integrity, and procedural adherence, then escalate material findings with evidence-based recommendations. I lead end-to-end missions—scoping, risk assessment, fieldwork, variance analysis, working papers, and report drafting—while facilitating senior debriefings in both French and English.

Alongside public sector experience, I gained hands-on banking exposure at Afriland First Bank across the full loan processing cycle, including credit documentation, compliance review, and loan agreement examination. I also worked on FX operations and cross-border trade finance under COBAC frameworks, and I am now pursuing a Master’s focused on structured trade finance, AfCFTA, and PAPSS.
