What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can strengthen governance, compliance, audit support, resource management, and operational controls while improving processes and supporting effective stakeholder collaboration.

At the Auditor-General of South Africa, I allocate resources across nine regional offices and seven national business units, supporting audit timelines, productivity, and cost control.

I’ve maintained 100% productivity across 350 resources, reduced subsistence and travel costs by 15%, and supported resource allocation requirements across national and regional offices. Previously, I managed audit business-unit administration, including travel for a team of 37, accounts receivable collection, procurement, internal controls, stakeholder engagement, and event coordination.

My experience also includes improving business processes at Sehwai Exploration Drilling, where I identified compliance gaps, implemented governance-aligned processes, and supported HR and payroll activities.

I bring more than 14 years of experience in mining and audit environments, backed by qualifications in Internal Auditing and strengths in governance, risk, compliance, reporting, and operational administration.
