Message

At Cargills Bank PLC, I manage risk evaluation and oversee Treasury Middle Office transaction limits, currency positions, valuations, and regulatory compliance.

I developed management reporting frameworks and dashboards to communicate credit, liquidity, and market risk to executive forums. I also introduced advanced Excel data models that shortened multi-source reconciliation review timelines.

Earlier at Cargills Bank PLC, I maintained General Ledger accounts, reviewed trial balances, completed balance sheet reconciliations, and executed month-end closures. I also prepared KRI dashboards and supported project appraisals using IRR/NPV metrics.

My experience also includes credit evaluation and CRIB compliance at The Finance Company PLC, branch credit and administration at Central Finance Company PLC, and customer relations and cashier work at Assetline Leasing Company. I hold ACMA (CMA Sri Lanka), an M.Sc. in Applied Finance, and a Bachelor of Management Studies (Hons).
