  • My role involves ensuring that the company's financial operations are in compliance with applicable laws, while promoting financial transparency and accountability.
  • One of the key aspects of my work is planning and defining the scope of audit work related to expenses, processes, brand profitability, product returns, and more. This involves collaborating with various stakeholders across the company to understand their needs and priorities and identify areas where the internal audit function can add value.
  • We conduct audits to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of Internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). This involves reviewing financial reports, policies, and procedures to ensure they comply with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
  • In addition, I have created Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for material processes and analyzed agreements, sales, returns, profitability, expiries, and damages to recommend actions that streamline processes and reduce revenue leakage.
  • Through effective communication with stakeholders, I have been able to identify areas for improvement and implement solutions to optimize the company's financial operations. In fact, I am proud to have contributed to the success of MH Enterprises by helping the company save around AED 300,000 in one financial year through revenue leakages, lack of governance, and cost-saving initiatives.
  • Overall, my role at MH Enterprises is critical in maintaining financial integrity and compliance while supporting the company's growth and strategic goals.
