Cpa-K Masila

I’m a Certified Public Accountant with a vast knowledge and experience in risk management and internal controls .

I have a strong knowledge of accounting principles backed by 5 years of experience in audit both private and public sectors. In my previous position I managed an audit portfolio of 25 branches with Nairobi region where I not only met the expectations but also exceeded them by conducting a full audit cycle of the 25 branches and conducting follow up audit hence lowering the risk levels. In my current position I’m actively involved in risk assessment and advising on risk mitigation measures for county departments and projects.

I’m also well versed with compliance issues.

Sincerely,

Christopher Mutua Masila
