Bankole Olatokunbo Olamide

I am an accomplished finance and audit professional with a proven record of achieving business goals, exceeding performance expectations, and driving organizational excellence. With over ten years of extensive experience spanning business accounting, financial analysis, investigative reporting, audit and assurance services, analytical review procedures, and internal control and compliance, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to strengthen governance systems and support strategic decision-making. As a Chartered Accountant, I possess a profound understanding of auditing standards, financial frameworks, and regulatory compliance, all of which underpin my success in delivering value across multiple organizational dimensions. In addition to my finance and audit expertise, I bring over seven years of strong experience in learning and development within knowledge-driven environments. I have designed and implemented capacity-building programs within and outside Nigeria across various employee levels in stakeholder organizations—equipping talents with the technical and leadership competencies required for business sustainability and growth. My commitment to continuous learning and professional development is reflected in my active participation in knowledge-sharing platforms such as the Compliance Institute of Nigeria (CIN), where I regularly engage in webinars and seminars to expand my expertise. Currently, as the Head, Learning Solutions & Certifications at FITC, an innovation-led and technology-driven knowledge organization, I drive strategic planning and operational improvement activities focused on capacity development, build and maintain deep relationships with existing and potential clients, create meaningful and impactful experiences, and ensure high Return on Investment for stakeholders. As a one-time Head, Internal Audit and Compliance, I have led several high-impact initiatives that enhanced operational efficiency and regulatory alignment. Notably, I championed my organization’s Data Protection Compliance Audit to ensure adherence to the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and played a pivotal role in drafting the Internal Audit Charter, which strengthened institutional governance. My analytical acumen, meticulous attention to detail, and sound judgment have been instrumental in identifying risk areas, improving control mechanisms, and fostering a compliance culture across the organization. Beyond my technical and analytical strengths, I exemplify professionalism, teamwork, and ethical leadership. I’m a pragmatic and results-oriented individual, recognized for my stakeholder engagement skills, collaborative spirit, and ability to manage multiple priorities with precision. I’m known for my clear communication and facilitation skills, particularly in accounting, finance, and compliance training. I continue to be a trusted advisor and strategic partner within my organization. My independence, integrity, and unwavering commitment to excellence remain central to my success as a finance, L&D Consultant, and audit leader.
