I also regularly communicated with stakeholders, such as project managers and executives, to provide updates on project finances and address any concerns or queries they had. Overall, my experience in liaising with external auditors and stakeholders has helped me develop strong communication and collaboration skills.

During my 5+ years of experience as a Project Accountant, I have extensively liaised with external auditors and stakeholders regarding project finances. In one project, I worked closely with our external auditors to ensure a smooth and successful annual financial audit. I prepared all the necessary documentation and reports, including financial statements, budgets, and expense reports, to provide a comprehensive overview of the project finances. I also conducted regular meetings with the auditors to address any questions or concerns they had and provided supporting evidence for any discrepancies found. Additionally, I regularly communicated with stakeholders, such as project managers and executives, to provide updates on project finances, address any queries, and ensure alignment between financial strategies and project objectives. My strong communication and collaboration skills, attention to detail, and experience in financial reporting have been instrumental in effectively liaising with external auditors and stakeholders.

As a Senior Project Accountant with over 5 years of experience, I have successfully liaised with various external auditors and stakeholders in managing project finances. In one instance, I led the coordination of a complex financial audit with a team of auditors from a Big 4 accounting firm. I facilitated regular communication and collaboration between the auditors, project managers, and other stakeholders to ensure a smooth audit process. I provided the auditors with a comprehensive package of financial documentation, including detailed financial statements, budget reports, cost analyses, and risk assessments. As a result, we received positive feedback from the auditors for the accuracy and organization of the financial records. In addition to working with auditors, I also actively engaged with stakeholders throughout projects, providing them with timely updates on project finances and addressing any concerns or inquiries. My attention to detail, strong financial reporting skills, and ability to navigate complex financial audits have been key in successfully liaising with external auditors and stakeholders.
