Audit Senior

Summary
I am a self-motivated, enthusiastic and optimist that can perform exceptionally well under immense pressure with an eye for attention to detail. I believe in building others up and live by the moto that says “each one, teach one” which I coined during serving fellow trainees as the Deputy Chairperson of the Trainee Audit Forum in achieving their honours/CTA studies. I completed my articles with the office of the Auditor-General South Africa and possess a wealth of knowledge of the Public Finance Management Act, National Treasury Regulations, Supply Chain Management, GRAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. I have been involved in the following audits: Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services, Postbank, Department of Police and Sedibeng Water. Amongst my peers, I am often referred to as the epitome of professional behaviour. I am more concerned about service more than a position. My values and ethics set me apart.
