South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Chartered Accountant with extensive experience in managing internal and external audits, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance. My career has been marked by a proven ability to lead audit teams and oversee complex engagements, driving process improvements that enhance efficiency and accuracy. I am adept at applying IFRS, US GAAP, and risk management strategies across diverse industries, which has allowed me to deliver high-quality results within strict deadlines.
During my tenure at KPMG in the Cayman Islands, I managed audits for major insurance clients, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and enhancing internal controls. I have successfully overseen audits totaling over $500 million in managed funds, built strong relationships with international clients, and resolved complex reporting discrepancies, saving clients from potential regulatory penalties. My leadership skills have been recognized through my ability to mentor teams and foster a culture of high performance and continuous improvement.
