2. Implementation of financial controls
3. Company liquidations
4. Tax matters (calculations, dispute resolution process, etc.)
5. Internal group structuring

1. Internal audit projects throughout Africa
2. Preparation and evaluation of financial statements for US & Cayman-based hedge funds
3. Evaluating key business ratio's
4. Technical consultation and problem-solving (this was usually reserved for managers only)
