I established the Internal Audit function by creating the audit manual, charters, and the first risk-based annual audit plan, approved by the Board’s audit committee. I identified and reported internal control deficiencies to management and the audit committee, providing actionable recommendations for enhanced efficiency. Additionally, I reviewed engagement working papers and audit programs prepared by internal audit staff, organized and attended quarterly audit committee meetings, and conducted training programs for senior and lower-level management to improve the control environment and risk management culture.

I worked at KPMG, one of the Big Four global audit firms, in both Egypt and Qatar. During my tenure, I audited clients across various industries, including real estate, telecommunications, food & beverage, maritime, civil aviation, and agriculture. My roles included conducting all necessary audit procedures to issue the annual auditor’s report, assessing internal control systems and reporting areas for improvement to management through Management Letters (M.L.), performing substantive tests (test of details or analytical procedures) on financial statement items to ensure they are fairly stated in all material aspects, and utilizing eAudit software for audit assignments in accordance with the KPMG Audit Methodology (KAM).

I prepared cost sheets and bank reconciliations, recorded journal entries both manually and through the “ORACLE” ERP system, and communicated with banks to open Letters of Credit and process overseas payments. Additionally, I worked closely with shipping agencies and prepared export shipping documents, including invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin.
