As a Senior Audit Associate, you will gain valuable hands‑on experience working with top SME clients across various industries. You'll be part of a collaborative team that values continuous learning, innovation, and excellence.

Audit Associate – Key Responsibilities

Supports the finance and assurance function by contributing to high-quality audit engagements in line with applicable financial reporting frameworks and auditing standards. Assist in the planning and execution of audit engagements in accordance with relevant auditing standards (e.g., ISA) and internal methodologies as well as ensuring compliance with applicable financial reporting standards (e.g., IFRS/MFRS) and regulatory requirements. This role reflects competencies outlined by the ACCA, including professionalism, ethics, technical proficiency, and business awareness.

Core Auditing Responsibilities:

Maintain complete, accurate, and verifiable accounting records of all financial transactions, ensuring proper documentation (including receipts, invoices, and audit evidence) is retained in accordance with organizational policies and applicable laws. Ensure all financial reporting and record-keeping practices comply with relevant accounting standards such as IFRS, and adhere to internal control procedures to safeguard the integrity of financial information. Uphold the principles of the ACCA Code of Ethics and Conduct, including integrity, objectivity, professional competence, and due care, while ensuring records are prepared in a manner that supports transparency, accountability, and audit readiness.

Data Entry and System Updates

Accurately record financial transactions in accounting systems in accordance with applicable accounting standards such as IFRS and internal policies, ensuring data is complete, consistent, and reliable across all platforms.

Organise and maintain financial documentation in both digital and physical formats in line with audit requirements and internal control procedures, ensuring records are secure, accessible, and compliant.

Bank and Ledger Reconciliation

Bank reconciliation is a key internal control and financial reporting procedure used to ensure that the cash balance per bank statement agrees to the cash balance per general ledger (GL), in accordance with IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and supported by the concept of faithful representation under IAS 1. It provides assurance over completeness, accuracy, and existence of cash balances—one of the most liquid and audit-sensitive assets.

Oversee end-to-end invoice management, including preparation, issuance, and monitoring of invoices. Manage accounts payable and receivable to maintain efficient cash flow and ensure timely settlement of obligations.

Assist in ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of financial data for management reporting and decision-making. Collaborate with cross-functional departments such as procurement, HR, and operations to gather and validate financial information, ensuring compliance with internal controls and accounting principles.
