- Regulate cash collections, petty cash, and deposit schedules; conduct periodic cash counts to eliminate misappropriation risks and ensure book-to-bank alignment.
Financial Reporting & Audit Support

- Support internal and external audits by maintaining complete financial records, supporting documents, and approval trails; provide requested documentation within 24 hours.
Team Management & Internal Controls
