• Escalate risks or delays that may impact audit timelines.
• Maintain an organised repository of audit evidence and supporting documentation.
• Extract financial reports, review transactions and obtain supporting information using SAP Fiori.
• Perform reconciliations and analyse financial data to support audit requirements.
• Assist with the preparation and review of statutory financial statements, balance sheet reconciliations and year-end schedules.
