Message

At UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia, I review payments, reconcile bank balances, and prepare financial reports that support donor reporting and financial planning.

During my UNICEF HQ stretch assignment with the Office of Innovation, I processed invoices and fund commitments in VISION ERP and monitored programme burn rates and grant expiry dates.

At UNICEF Nepal, I supported WASH programme financial planning, tracked grant utilization, and coordinated partner spot checks and financial assessments.

Earlier, at IOM and national NGOs, I managed financial transactions and reporting, supported audits, and helped develop financial and administrative procedures.
