Cover letter
Respected HR,
Below is a brief account of my profile and experience so far.
Currently, I am working at National Refinery Pakistan Limited as Executive Management in internal audit department. Before that I was at Albaraka Bank as Assistant Manager Internal Auditor. My role here is crucial because I am responsible to sync our bank's SOPs as per the guidelines of the State Bank of Pakistan. My work involves reviewing the operational effectiveness of the SOPs in our different branches, spread all over Pakistan.
Recently, I also successfully ran the cumbersome compliance check by executing the Internal Control Financial Reporting (ICFR) for our external auditors. This was quite challenging and rewarding!
Before joining DIB, I was working at Arif Habib Commodities in the capacity of a Research Analyst and a Trader. This allowed me to dabble a bit in Portfolio Management, while I gained experience in diverse client interfacing. Locking prospective clients to multiple potential trading engagements, and assisting them for investment in multiple commodities, such as Crude Oil, Gold, Silver and foreign currencies in future market were my daily responsibilities. It was a fascinating position because it enlightened me on how the commodities have the power to fluctuate the world's economy.
The prospective position excites me because of the finely outlined roadmap: incrementing budgeting and getting acquainted with the culture in the beginning, to designing strategy and impacting the financial margins up the line.
As an ACCA, MBA (finance) and SAP-Financials qualified, and being confident of my expertise, positive attitude and excellent communication skills, I feel I am ready to take over the challenge of this position and add value to your company while further growing professionally.
Sincerely,
Umer Abdal Khan
