Accountant in Vancouver, British Columbia

I am Shreep Pun Magar and I have over a decade of experience as a designated accountant (ACCA-UK) in various accounting, finance, and auditing capacities across diverse industries, I believe I can contribute my expertise and dedication to your team. As an Audit Trainee/Associate at R Shrestha and Associates, I honed my skills in examining accounts and financial control systems for multiple entities. I played a pivotal role in conducting internal and external audits for various clients, providing financial advice on cash operation management, and offering training sessions on accounts/bookkeeping. This diverse experience has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set and a deep understanding of audit processes. In my most recent role as a Risk Officer at Himalayan Bank Ltd., I oversaw banking functions with a focus on challenging existing risk routines to enhance identification, access control, and incident reporting standards. My responsibilities included the development of an internal credit grading system aimed at identifying and mitigating credit risk exposure. Additionally, I conducted thorough reviews of credit files, implemented early warning signals, and formulated risk/control policies in alignment with both central bank regulations and internal management requirements. Monitoring the business portfolio in line with the bank's risk appetite further fortified my expertise in maintaining a balanced risk profile. During my tenure at NIC ASIA BANK Ltd. in the Internal Audit Department, my role involved auditing and inspecting branches and departments, presenting comprehensive reports to the audit committee, and providing assistance to the audit team during committee meetings. I successfully supervised and guided branch employees during audits, minimizing errors, and identifying operational loopholes. Additionally, my responsibilities included reviewing various manuals, policies, and guidelines to ensure compliance before circulation. I am fully aware that adapting to a new economic system and work environment may come with challenges, but I am a quick learner and a highly adaptable individual. I am confident that my analytical skills, attention to detail, and a strong background in risk management and internal audit make me a valuable candidate for this role.
