External auditor at GI Outsourcing assessing UK client risks and controls under ISA, FRS 102, and UK GAAP.

At GI Outsourcing, I plan and execute external audits for UK-based clients under ISA, FRS 102, and UK GAAP. I assess financial and operational risks, evaluate internal controls, and document audit findings and conclusions.

I collaborate remotely with UK clients and engagement teams to resolve audit queries and manage deliverables. I also contribute to improving audit processes and methodologies.

Previously, at GCO Partners (contracted to Cooper Parry UK), I performed audits across the audit cycle, prepared working papers, and liaised with UK clients. I also performed VAT reconciliations and substantive testing.

At Nolands JHB Inc, I planned and performed statutory and non-statutory audits, prepared financial statements using CaseWare and XERO, and completed tax computations and VAT reconciliations. I also coordinated audit teams and supported junior staff during audit work and asset verification.
