What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance or audit role where I can lead AML/CFT and risk assessments, improve controls, mentor teams, and support regulatory adherence while growing into senior risk or compliance leadership.

I am an audit and accounting professional with over six years' experience providing management with reliable financial information, preparing financial statements, and conducting internal and external audits. I combine technical accounting knowledge with practical risk and compliance experience.

My experience spans financial reporting, taxation, financial risk assessment, AML/CFT risk assessment, and control reviews, with working knowledge of IFRSs, the Ugandan Anti‑money Laundering Act and Regulations, and domestic tax laws. I have worked on end‑to‑end engagements, from planning through reporting.

At RSM Eastern Africa I progressed through roles from Audit Associate to Audit Semi Senior, leading audit entry meetings, improving internal controls, preparing clear audit documentation, and supervising and training junior staff. I also served as the firm's auditing software champion, supporting deployments, training and troubleshooting.

More recently as a Risk Consultant I support AML/ATF and risk compliance activities, conduct on‑site and off‑site examinations, maintain AML/ATF registers, assist with risk assessments and outreach, and participate in enforcement and regulatory activities. I am dedicated, confidential, and eager to continue growing in compliance and audit leadership.
