Accountant

I started my carrier path as an Accounting Assistant with the then Ministry of Youth Development and Employment Creation. I was assigned to the department of Employment Creation were the main emphasis was on supporting youth projects both financially and technically. The department was also responsible for managing all the gender related issues. My responsibilities then included project assessment, processing loans, reconciliation of cash book and bank statements for the employment creation fund, conducting debt recovery exercise around the country as well as helping the youth to market their products. Most of the work that the department did was largely community based.

When the Ministry of Women Affairs, Gender and Community Development was inaugurated in 2005, I then moved with the Gender department to the new Ministry on the same post. Some of the responsibilities I had include, preparation of annual work plans for donor funded programs, Tracking all project spending against approved quarterly & annual work plans, conducting monitoring and evaluation exercise and debt recovery for Women's Development Fund, Preparation of funds authorization and certificate of expenditure forms (FACE Form), Collaborated extensively with auditors during preliminary and year-end audit processes, Provided reliable and timely project by project expense and spend data for all developmental partners as well as maintaining financial statements for all the projects supported by development partners according to UN regulations. The UN agents that I worked with during that time include UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Women, and FAO.

Currently I am an Accountant with the Ministry of Defence`s Budgets & Expenditure department. Some of the roles that I am responsible for include, preparation of weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual expenditure reports, passing documents as correct before processing payments, posting payments using the SAP system, budget preparation, supervising expenditure Accounting Assistants and processing local and foreign travel daily subsistence Allowances (DSA).

It is therefore my belief that the experience I have acquired over the years coupled with my educational qualifications has adequately prepared me for an assignment related to finance and administration work.
