@oluwaseyiowoso
Senior Audit Associate specializing in IFRS compliance, risk assessment, and internal control improvements.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly organized, results-driven Senior Audit Associate with 7+ years of experience in accounting, audit, financial reporting, and business process reviews. I deliver timely, high-quality audit work while ensuring full alignment with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and IFRS requirements.
At KPMG, I led and managed multiple audit engagements simultaneously, performing detailed risk assessments and substantive audit procedures across high-risk areas such as revenue, receivables, intercompany balances, and fixed assets. I review specialist reports (including actuarial valuations, tax assessments, and valuation reports), prepare comprehensive audit documentation, management letters, and internal control reports, and act as the primary client point of contact—resolving issues promptly and maintaining strong relationships.
I also strengthen internal control effectiveness through actionable recommendations, team supervision, and mentoring junior associates. Earlier, at Kreston OUC, I improved record-keeping and reconciliation processes—reducing credit/debit discrepancies by 19%—while supporting payroll scheduling for 15+ employees and conducting going-concern risk evaluations to support accurate financial reporting.
