Compliance & Policy Enforcement: Verify that branch operations comply with company standard operating procedures (SOPs), hygiene/safety guidelines, and local statutory requirements.

Delivery Platforms & Cashless Revenue Assurance: Reconcile third-party delivery aggregators (e.g., Glovo, UberEats, Jumia Food) and digital/card payment gateways against actual bank deposits.

Reporting & Remediation: Prepare clear audit reports highlighting control deficiencies, recommend corrective actions, and follow up with store managers to ensure fix-it plans are implemented.
