RE: Application for Virtual Financial Audit Specialist

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Virtual Financial Audit Specialist role. With over 11 years of experience in internal auditing, risk assessment, and financial compliance, I bring a strong track record of improving financial controls and driving regulatory adherence. My expertise in fraud detection, data analytics, and financial reporting makes me a strong fit for this position.

In my current role as Group Head of Internal Audit at Jubilee Insurance, I have led risk-based audits, strengthened control frameworks, and implemented data-driven strategies to enhance financial accuracy. My ability to identify vulnerabilities and optimize audit processes has directly contributed to improved compliance and operational efficiency. Holding certifications as a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K), I have deep expertise in GAAP, IFRS, and regulatory standards, ensuring high-quality financial reporting.

One of my core strengths is leveraging technology to enhance financial audits. I have extensive experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), forensic tools, and data analytics platforms (IDEA Analytics, Power BI). This enables me to analyze complex financial data, identify discrepancies, and provide actionable insights. I am also highly adaptable to remote work environments, effectively collaborating with teams across different time zones.

I am eager to bring my expertise to your team and contribute to ensuring financial integrity and compliance. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills can add value to your organization.

Best regards,
Stella Nyambura Kariuki.
