As an Audit Supervisor at McConnell & Jones, Arshad was a key member and the lead on the team engaged on audit assignments. His responsibilities included planning and executing multiple audits, liaising with client management and staff, reviewing staff work, providing on the job training to staff members, assisting clients with preparation of financial statments including help with interpretation of new regulations and complex transactions, managing staff time and budgets and billings and collections related to his clients. Arshad proved to be very dependent, trustworthy and a great team player. He demonstrated his team work skills by putting in the extra time to ensure that the assignments were completed by the required deadline. He assisted me on some very challenging audit engagements and was instrumental in meeting the reporting timelines within budgeted cost. During these engagements Arshad demonstrated not only his technical expertise but his ability to manage staff, client relationships and assist other team members in order to complete the assigned tasks.
