I was part of two Sugar Mill audits (Tongaat Hullets Amatikulu and Tongaat Hullets Darnall) where I was given Fixed Assets as my area of review. Under Fixed Assets, I analyzed various processes that were directly related to Fixed Assets, assessed the risks associated with these processes from an engineering perspective, tested whether mitigating controls were in place, and finally provided professional recommendations to Executive Management.
