I am a qualified professional with substantial expertise in putting effective risk management and internal audit policies into practice. I am skilled in assessing risk for strategic goals and analysing corporate processes to detect internal control deficiencies and non-compliance with risk appetite and tolerance levels. I have good interpersonal and communication abilities, the capacity to build long-lasting relationships, presentation skills, and high ethical standards with honesty and integrity. I am assertive and hardworking.
I have certificates in both internal auditor ethics and public service ethics. I provide corporate leadership and counsel on matters of corporate governance and act as the organization's internal control point for ethics and improprieties, allegations, complaints, and conflicts of interest, and I also provide corporate leadership and advice on corporate governance issues.
I have a thorough understanding of PPPFA, Supply Chain Process, Public Finance Management Act, Public Service Regulations and the Constitution, Public Sector Risk Management, ISO 31000, COSO Framework and International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing.
