Deliver clear, evidence-based reports to the Board and Executive team, highlighting critical vulnerabilities and tracking remediation efforts.

Utilize data analytics to move from "snapshot" audits to real-time monitoring of high-risk transactions.

Ensure the organization remains in full compliance with (Industry-Specific Regulations, e.g.,IFRS).

Act as a strategic consultant to the management team on risk management, ethics, and corporate governance.

Requirements

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or relevant field.
