Financial ratios play a big part in my day to day experience at Nampak & these are constantly monitored through the model I developed, which reflects where there is room for improvement. Controls are an integral part of Nampak’s success, therefore there was emphasis on control deficiencies & the procedures put in place to rectify the deficiencies. These are discussed at every board meeting using a report that I developed. I was responsible for preparing the Rigids board pack which includes analyses for all the divisions as well as the aggregated results. Show less
