What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an external audit/assurance role where I can use ISA-standard audit work, accurate working papers, and strong documentation to support senior reviewers, meet deadlines, and grow within a collaborative team.

I’m a semi-senior external auditor with a strong scientific foundation from my BSc. Biochemistry (First Class Honors) and research background on the effects of Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) on insulin resistance and lipid metabolism. I bring the same rigor to financial assurance—analysing complex data sets, identifying irregularities, and documenting observations clearly for senior management review.

At KPMG Professional Services, I conduct financial statement audits in line with ISA standards, prepare and review detailed working papers, and produce audit findings and compliance reports with high accuracy. I’ve also led financial transaction processing as a team lead—overseeing daily authorization and reconciliation for zero-variance accuracy—while building operational discipline through laboratory and teaching experience, strengthening my attention to detail, organization, and communication.
