• Supervise, train and mentor audit executives, assistants and article trainees.
• Allocate work according to capability and provide clear instructions.
• Review working papers for accuracy, completeness, supporting evidence and quality of conclusions.

• Conduct regular progress reviews and elevate technical issues or resource constraints promptly.
• Build a culture of ownership, professional scepticism and timely delivery.
• Act as the day-to-day contact for assigned clients.
• Communicate requirements clearly and resolve queries professionally.
• Present findings with supporting evidence, business impact and actionable recommendations.
• Identify opportunities to improve controls, reporting, working-capital management and operational efficiency.
