Candidate Profile for a Audit Senior

A post-articles audit professional with just over three and a half years’ experience in audit and assurance, comprising three years of SAICA training and further post-articles experience. She has worked as an Audit Senior on contract for two accounting and advisory practices, leading and assisting with the planning, execution, and completion of audit and independent review engagements across public and private sector clients, including work performed in line with GRAP, PFMA, IFRS, and IFRS for SMEs. Her responsibilities have included leading audit teams, performing risk assessment and risk response procedures, calculating and justifying materiality, evaluating misstatements against performance materiality, and liaising between audit teams, clients, and audit partners. During her SAICA training she also gained experience in reconciliations, income tax and dividends withholding tax submissions, and the preparation of annual financial statements and supporting schedules, and earlier in her career gained foundational financial reporting and data analysis experience within the public sector and a retail environment. She is now looking to move into a broader finance role where she can leverage her audit and assurance background, including financial reporting, financial analysis, and budgeting.
