Audit Senior at Grant Thornton Pakistan who leads audits and prepares financial statements for audit readiness.

At Grant Thornton Pakistan, I lead external audits from planning and risk assessment through fieldwork and finalisation. I work with client CFOs and finance teams on general ledger reviews, audit adjustments, financial statements and audit readiness.

I assess internal controls across revenue, receivables, payables, inventory and payroll, and report weaknesses with practical recommendations. I also review team members’ work and mentor audit associates.

I designed and delivered firm-wide training on internal controls testing and year-end stock counts to 83 participants. My work spans sectors including B2B e-commerce, manufacturing and trading, with a grounding in IFRS and working knowledge of US GAAP.
