I am a financial compliance specialist with over seven years of experience directing donor compliance, internal controls, and financial governance across international NGOs in East Africa. I oversee statutory and donor compliance frameworks for institutions including the EU, SIDA, DFID, and UNICEF. My core expertise covers multi-currency budget variance analysis, complex audit facilitation, sub-grantee monitoring, and risk mitigation. I focus on reinforcing fiscal integrity and building robust operational systems that safeguard funding for high-impact humanitarian programs.
