- Financial control. Budgeting, management accounts, cost control and internal financial reporting.
- Project finance. Structuring PPPs, blended finance and project vehicles with development finance institutions.
- Treasury and risk. Managing currency, counterparty and liquidity risk across multiple African markets.
- Operational procurement. Supplier qualification, tendering, evaluation and contract award to recognised standards.
- Audit readiness. Maintaining records and controls that support external audit and investor due diligence.
