 Job Title: Senior Internal Control Officer

Location: Onitsha, Anambra

Employment Type: Full-time

Job Function: Internal Audit, Risk Management, Finance & Operations About the Role

We are seeking a highly analytical, detail-oriented and experienced Senior Internal Control Officer to strengthen operational controls, safeguard company assets, minimise losses and promote accountability across our manufacturing operations.

Develop, implement and monitor internal control systems across production, stores, warehouse, procurement, sales and other operational departments. Conduct routine and periodic internal control reviews, operational audits and compliance checks. Monitor raw material usage, production output, work-in-progress, scrap, rejects and finished goods to identify unexplained variances and potential losses. Reconcile physical inventory with stock records, production reports, material requisitions, goods received notes and dispatch documentation. Identify control weaknesses, operational loopholes, irregular transactions and potential fraud, and recommend practical corrective measures. Investigate stock discrepancies, material wastage, missing goods, unauthorised transactions and other suspected control breaches. Review production records, inventory movements, procurement transactions and sales documentation for accuracy, completeness and compliance with approved procedures. Monitor adherence to company policies, standard operating procedures and established approval limits. Prepare clear, evidence-based internal control reports detailing findings, risks, responsible process areas and recommended corrective actions. Follow up on audit findings and verify that corrective actions have been implemented. Advise Management on measures to improve cost control, operational efficiency, asset protection and accountability.

B.Sc. or HND in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business Administration or another relevant discipline. Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in internal control, internal audit, risk management or a closely related function. Demonstrable experience in manufacturing is strongly preferred; prior experience in the plastic manufacturing industry will be a significant advantage. Strong practical knowledge of inventory control, stock reconciliation, production monitoring, material usage and operational loss prevention. Proven ability to identify control weaknesses, investigate discrepancies and recommend effective corrective actions. Strong analytical, numerical, investigative and report-writing skills. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and the ability to analyse operational records, reconcile data and prepare management reports. High integrity, professional judgment, attention to detail and the ability to work independently across different departments. Relevant professional certifications, such as ICAN, ACCA, CIA or CISA where applicable to the candidate's background, will be an added advantage.

We are looking for a hands-on internal control professional who can go beyond checking documents to identify operational risks, uncover discrepancies, enforce accountability and help prevent avoidable losses in a manufacturing environment. Candidates whose experience is limited to routine bookkeeping or general administrative duties, without substantial internal control, audit or risk-related responsibilities, may not be suitable for this position.
