Philany Gqwaru

I am an internal auditing professional with a Postgraduate Diploma in Internal Auditing (NQF-8) and a strong foundation in financial accounting from prior accounting diplomas. I focus on combining audit principles with emerging technology to strengthen controls and reduce risk.

I have hands on skills in Python, Microsoft Excel (VBA, Macros, VLOOKUP, PivotTables), Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, and Sage (Pastel), and I apply data analysis techniques to improve audit insight and efficiency. I am committed to using technology to streamline audit processes.

My professional ethos centers on ethical practice, continuous learning, and effective communication; I work well under pressure and adapt quickly in dynamic environments. I am pursuing professional certifications such as CISA and CRISC to deepen my IT audit and risk management expertise.

I seek roles where I can apply audit methodology, IT auditing, and governance knowledge to contribute to organizational resilience and better risk outcomes while continuing professional development.
