Career Overview
I graduated from Pacific Adventist University in Papua New Guinea with my bachelor's degree in Accounting in 20215 and started working with the largest bank in the south pacific, known as the Bank of South Pacific Limited (BSP). I started as a Reconciliation Officer for three years, and later as a Risk Analyst for another three years. I then moved to the Internal Audit Department where I worked as an Internal Auditor for two years before moving to Australia as a subsequent entrant under my wife's student visa. Working with the Bank of South Pacific has helped developed my accounting skills and I believe I can use these skills to contribute to the growth and development of your firm. I am available and willing to start work immediately if given the opportunity.
