HAMUN KASHIL

I began my career in the Advisory Department at EY in Mauritius after graduating from high school (Royal College Curepipe) with a particular focus on risk management, internal audit, business consulting and process improvement.
Whilst at EY and RSM, I have acquired multi industry experience by being involved in local and international assignments (remotely) ; working with organisations such as the Islamic Development Bank, European Union and with leading clients in the Hospitality, Financial Services, Agricultural Sectors, Wealth Management sectors and Donor Funded Organisations.I have also been involved in the conduct of risk assessment exercise and design of the risk management framework for clients in Mauritius.

I concede that the onset of any working relationship would involve me being at the receiving end of training and information and I firmly believe that my questioning mind and apt grasping of what I will be taught, will frame the relationship into a more dyadic one in that I, hopefully, will be able to add value and contribute to the furtherance of my team.
