Objective
I am in quest of a challenging finance/management role with wide exposure to share my extensive work experience acquired in the fields of auditing, accounting, finance, budgeting, and management in view of adding creative value for corporate growth and success.
Summary Resume
I am a full-fledged qualified professional in the fields of accountancy and finance. I hold the post of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at the Central Water Authority since February 2005. As an experienced CFO with extensive exposure in the accounting, budgeting, costing, finance and management fields (and partly in auditing), I am very confident in my ability to offer my expertise and acquired skills, and make a remarkable contribution to your company’s operations. I am, as always, highly committed to excellence by providing an irreproachable quality service, whilst aiming at constant improvement in systems, procedures and processes. The key to success is in product and/or service innovation using modern evolving tools. Being a meticulous person and as a former Examiner of Accounts[1], I have developed an eye for detail as far payments and financial procedural controls are concerned. I have recently reviewed and updated my department’s General Disbursement Procedural Manual, as well as the Risk Register for the Finance Division.
I have 23 years of post-qualification experience out of 32 years of continuous service in institutions like the Central Statistical Office, the Electoral Commissioner’s Office, the former-Government Audit Department[2], the University of Mauritius as Senior Accountant and with my current employer as Accounts Officer, Senior Accounts Officer, Management Accountant, Financial Accountant and presently CFO (Resume refers). I have assumed the duties and responsibilities of Acting Deputy General Manager (Administration) on several occasions since 2011.
Furthermore, I am a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (2001) and a holder of a Masters degree in Finance (University of Mauritius). In June 2011, I was admitted as a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Consultants (Canada). Also, I am a member of the Mauritius Institute of Professional Accountants (MIPAM). Finally, I was admitted as a fellow member of the Institute of Administrative Management (UK).
I am a reliable person having a highly professional and honest approach to all work-related matters. Technically-minded with a mix of the required skills and competencies, I shall be able to work effectively in fast-paced and ever-changing environments.
