About

I am an Audit Director with many years of diverse experience in audit and non-audit engagements across financial services, industrial markets, and consumer markets. My professional journey has taken me through challenging and rewarding roles at KPMG Malaysia and KPMG Sydney, allowing me to build a robust skill set in technical accounting and strategic leadership. As the Head of an Audit Department, I oversee people management, monthly reporting, resource allocation, and departmental presentations to partners. My role also involves chairing management meetings, ensuring smooth operations, and nurturing talent within the team. I specialize in IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, having led implementation and impact assessment projects for conventional life, takaful, general, and reinsurance companies. Successfully navigating the complexities of IFRS 17 audits during its inaugural year stands as a testament to my deep expertise and ability to manage change effectively. My adaptability and problem-solving skills have been honed over many years of audit and consulting experience, where I have consistently delivered innovative solutions to complex challenges. I thrive on driving transformation and adding value to clients and stakeholders.
