CA-Finalist and Big Four Audit Senior Associate specializing in IFRS, external audits, and risk-based regulatory compliance.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I am a CA-Finalist with more than three years of experience at KPMG in Pakistan, specializing in external audit, financial reporting, IFRS, ISAs, risk management, and regulatory compliance. I focus strongly on the Financial and Non-Financial sector and bring a practical, quality-first approach to audit delivery.
During my Big Four service period, I led full-scope external audits for public interest companies, including Asset Management and financial services engagements. I apply advanced risk-based auditing techniques to assess the integrity of financial statements, with emphasis on high-risk areas such as loans and advances, investment portfolios, revenue streams, and complex financial instruments.
I have a proven track record of leading high-performing teams, including leading a team of 10+ members and training junior staff through their initial audit engagements. I partner with clients to understand business needs, provide strategic insights, recommend improvements in internal controls and governance practices, and support group audit engagements with IFRS-compliant consolidation.
