What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to leverage my expertise in risk management and control frameworks to contribute to an organisation’s success.

At FirstRand Bank Limited, I conduct risk-based assurance reviews in Global Markets and associated business units, assessing critical controls and business processes against regulatory mandates, internal policies, and risk management frameworks.

I design audit programs for operational, financial, regulatory, and strategic risks. I also track corrective actions and use data analytics to identify patterns and improve review effectiveness.

In my current role, I discuss control weaknesses and their root causes with business stakeholders, communicate findings and recommendations to senior leadership, and provide assurance on banking processes and controls. I’ve also mentored junior audit staff and functioned in a lead role during audit engagements.

Previously, I worked as a Senior Auditor at Makosi, an Audit Consultant at Sapro, and an Audit Trainee at Deloitte. My experience includes evaluating internal controls, assessing compliance and financial reporting, and supporting audit work involving IFRS, PCAOB-regulated environments, and financial statements.
