Comments

My candidate is a fully chartered accountant with over 3 years continual experience since completing their BCom in which they majored in Accounting and Taxation. They have found the time spent in an audit firm has given them an excellent base of skills to take into a commercial role. They are seeking a move into an organisation in which they can develop and grow in a direction that diversifies from the auditing skill set.

Employment History

Large National Audit Firm

Senior Auditor

2022 to Current

• Gained audit experience in a variety of sectors including energy companies, local government (councils and holding companies), airports and tertiary education institutions. Most of my clients are for-profit entities reporting under IFRS except a few under IPSAS.
• I am part of the sector experts in the energy sector where I specialise in auditing SAIDI/SAIFI (network reliability performance measure) which requires me to interpret and analyse large amounts of data. 
• I have successfully audited high risk areas including greenhouse gas emissions, consolidations, performance measures specific to certain sectors, and assurance engagements performed under specific legislation, for example the Commerce Act.
• I have successfully led and supervised audit engagements, maintaining meaningful communication and relationships with colleagues and clients.
• All of my clients have statutory deadlines at different times in the year that they must meet, meaning I work diligently to finish my audits within specified timeframes. I provide work of a high quality as my work usually gets reviewed thrice- by the manager, director and quality control director.
