I joined the Auditor General’s Office as a trainee in 2007. Having spent my earlier years with the office as a financial and compliance auditor, I moved to the Performance Audit Department in 2014 as an Audit Manager, after its establishment a year earlier. In the following years, I worked with both internal and external stakeholders to better align our audit practices with the international standards on public sector auditing.

My goals for the Fellowship

I hope to gain deeper insights into the planning and execution phases of the audit. I am especially interested in learning about determining the scope of an audit, practical application of the sampling methodologies to follow when auditors must deal with qualitative rather than quantitative data, and applying root cause analysis under complex scenarios.

The impact I hope to make as a graduate Fellow

I look forward to passing on the knowledge I will have gained by guiding my colleagues on enhancing their understanding of the practices we’ve been following and introducing new and/or more efficient practices into our methodology.
