Internal Auditor at Century Motor Company, performing full audit cycles and recommending risk controls and cost savings.
LebanonWhat I'm looking for
At Century Motor Company, I perform and control the full audit cycle, assess operational effectiveness and financial reliability, and develop annual audit plans. I also recommend risk aversion measures and cost savings.
Before that, as Accounting Manager at Terrapack, I oversaw the accounting department and its team, implemented financial policies to support IFRS compliance, and prepared financial reports for management and stakeholders.
At Xport BNG, I supervised accounting staff, managed the month-end close, and streamlined processes by automating manual tasks using financial software. I also coordinated with external auditors.
Earlier, I held accounting roles at ALMakhazen (Pharaon holding), Waterfront city, and Elia Audit Office, covering financial reporting, internal controls, budgeting, and audit support. I hold a Master Degree in Audit from Holy Spirit University of Kaslik ( USEK ) and a Bachelor Degree in Finance from the same university.
