About This Role
This is not a routine compliance-checking position. You will be the person who walks into operational sites and financial records with the mandate to find what is not working — then defend those findings to management. Working for Kerchanshe, one of Ethiopia’s major agricultural exporters, means your audits will touch everything from procurement of coffee or other commodities to foreign currency transactions and warehouse operations. The Dilla/Guangua location signals a field-based role, so you should expect to work where the business actually happens, not just in a head office.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 5-8 year experience band tells you they want someone who has seen real audit cycles through to completion — not someone who has merely assisted on engagements. They are looking for a professional who can design audit programs from scratch, not just execute checklists designed by others. The emphasis on sensitive audits suggests you will handle fraud investigations, conflict-of-interest cases, or high-value transaction reviews where your judgment and discretion will be tested. This is a profile of someone who can stand before a general manager with uncomfortable findings and hold their ground professionally.
How to Approach This Application
Your CV should lead with specific audit assignments you have completed independently — name the types of audits, the scale of transactions reviewed, and the outcomes of your recommendations. Do not list “auditing” as a generic skill; show them you have worked in trading, agriculture, or commodity-based businesses where inventory, cash movement, and cross-border transactions create real risk exposure. Since this is a regional post, emphasize your willingness to be based outside Addis and your familiarity with operational environments, not just corporate headquarters. Strong written communication matters here, so make sure your application documents are error-free and professionally structured.
Who This Role Suits
This role suits a mid-career auditor who is ready to take ownership of complex reviews without daily supervision. Expect strong competition from experienced auditors in Addis, but far fewer candidates willing to commit to a Dilla-based assignment — so your geographic flexibility is a genuine competitive advantage.
