CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

There was frequent misappropriation of cash received from customers which took a longtime before such acts were uncovered. These acts became possible due to the inability of management to monitor the receipt and timely banking of all cash received. We were asked to suggest controls that can help mitigate such risk by management. I then came up with the system generated receipt and cash control system which shows all cash receipt for a particular working day and whether all the cash was banked and the time of banking. This system helped uncover misappropriation of cash received to the tune of GHS 30,000 and mitigate the instance of future risks.

A new branch was opened and there was a need to set-up an accounting system and controls for the branch. I was selected to head a team to travel to the branch and set-up all the systems and controls and reports for the branch.
