Umair Abid

A Certified in Accounting and Finance (CAF), currently working as an Audit Senior in the Audit department of KPMG in Pakistan. I have been working as an Audit team player, and in-charge in External Audit services of KPMG, for 4 years. I have been exposed to a wide spectrum of industries and experienced a dynamic mix of engagements largely specializing in the manufacturing sector, which has provided me with an insider view of the key business processes within the organisations, accounting and internal control systems, corporate governance and relevant accounting frameworks. Equally important, it has refined my essential soft skills such as team working and enhanced my communication skills.

During my 4 years experience, I have led and supervised client engagements and managed teams through the planning, execution and conclusion stages of External audits, agreed-upon procedures, certifications, stock taking assignments, internal control system implementation, and validation, operational/regulatory compliance reviews and other assignments in Non-financial and financial sector including banks and capital markets, and brokerage houses.
