I was responsible for spearheading data analysis initiatives, developing and implementing a robust data management system, defining key performance indicators, and conducting comprehensive data analyses to uncover insights and provide actionable recommendations. This resulted in a 15% increase in overall sales revenue, a 30% reduction in data errors, a 25% increase in ROI, and the creation of interactive data visualisations and reports.

I collaborated with the accounting and finance teams to develop a tax-efficient supply chain structure, resulting in a $1.5 million reduction in VAT and CIT liabilities and improved profitability. I also reviewed historical records, current operational data and forecasting information to identify and capitalise on system enhancement opportunities. Additionally, I conducted financial due diligence on potential investments and acquisitions through the developed regulatory business cases that resulted in three successful mergers across business operations. I also developed and implemented a tax risk management program resulting in a 75% reduction in tax-related legal disputes by analysing business processes to identify cost savings and operational efficiencies. Lastly, I mentored and trained a team of 8 junior professionals, resulting in a 20% increase in team productivity and efficiency.

I was responsible for performing internal audits of financial and departmental operations, developing risk assessments and conducting process walkthroughs for compliance with documented processes. I also developed an audit plan based on risk assessment and reporting requirements, implemented a Board reporting template to address any breaches in ethics or legal violations identified in an audit and communicated clearly with employees, suppliers and stakeholders to keep everyone on the same page and working towards established business goals. As a result of my efforts, I was able to reduce control deficiencies by 70% and improve the business processes by 62% within the first 6 months.

I have experience in developing and delivering training programs to educate 1400 employees on anti-bribery and SOX compliance requirements, creating a top-notch internal audit charter, strategy, and plan, introducing process improvements to enhance our organisational culture and streamline procedures for greater efficiency, and supporting the company's growth. These changes have resulted in an 85% increase in awareness and understanding of these policies, as well as a revenue increase of approximately 25% in just 2 years.
