Audit Senior
Nexia International
Jan 2022 - Dec 2025 • 3 yrs 11 mos
I am an experienced Audit Senior at Nexia International, where I have led and executed external audits in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and IFRS for clients across multiple industries, including trading, manufacturing, retail, and services. My role involves managing audit engagements from planning to completion, ensuring high-quality deliverables under strict deadlines. As an Audit Senior, I have led audit teams, assigned tasks, reviewed junior staff work, and acted as the primary point of contact between clients and engagement partners. I am actively involved in audit planning, understanding the entity and its environment, performing risk assessments, identifying key audit areas, and tailoring audit procedures accordingly. I have extensive hands-on experience in evaluating and testing internal controls area-wise, including procurement, inventory, revenue, fixed assets, payroll, and expenditure cycles. I have performed detailed substantive audit procedures, analytical reviews, cut-off testing, and audit of estimates and judgments. Where internal controls were found ineffective, I adjusted the audit approach by increasing substantive testing in line with ISA requirements, ensuring sufficient appropriate audit evidence without compromising audit quality. In addition to audit work, I have strong expertise in financial statements preparation, including first-year accounts, notes to the financial statements, and compliance with IFRS presentation and disclosure requirements. I have independently prepared current and deferred tax workings, reviewed tax provisions, and reconciled tax balances in accordance with IAS 12. My experience also includes fixed asset verification, depreciation calculations, impairment considerations, and inventory valuation under IAS 2. I am known for my strong analytical skills, professional judgment, attention to detail, and ability to clearly communicate complex accounting matters to clients.
