SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Because of her vast exposure, knowledge and experience in the tax, finance, accounting, auditing and
compliance fields, Sholeeta has been able to prepare the audit working paper file, for the external
auditor, to the point where it has reduced the audit and taxation fees by more than 50%, for the JR
Group of Companies, where she currently works.

With her dynamic and “out of the box” thinking and ideas she has also managed to implement
restructuring and centralised management and administration systems which have drastically reduced
operating costs across this group of companies.

REFEREE COMMENTS
Ronesh Mohan, General Manager at JR Group of Companies, highly recommends Sholeeta and
commented that she has an excellent work ethic, constantly goes the extra mile and gets on well with
people at all levels. As an example to illustrate these qualities, he described how when she arrived at
the JR Group, there were many unresolved issues and a huge backlog. She managed to get this all up to
date, over and above her normal daily work. This was an excellent achievement, given that she did, on
her own, something that would normally need to be done by 3 people!
