Sankeerth N — Associate Consultant

I am a Chartered Accountant (CA) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) with 9+ years of experience across IT/IS audit, internal audit, ERP-integrated controls, GRC, and risk-based assurance. My professional journey spans India and the Middle East, where I’ve led internal audits, ITGC, ITAC and ERP/system control reviews, fraud and red-flag investigations, and process improvement initiatives across platforms such as Oracle, Tally, Smartex, and SAP (basic). My work focuses on strengthening governance, improving control effectiveness, and supporting management through clear, risk-focused insights. Alongside my professional practice, I follow a mindfulness and meditation discipline, which influences how I approach audit and risk work — with calm focus, ethical clarity, and balanced judgment. I believe strong GRC frameworks and internal controls are most effective when supported by thoughtful decision-making and integrity. I am open to opportunities in IT/IS Audit, ERP Controls, GRC, and Risk & Compliance, and I value environments that emphasize sound governance, accountability, and purpose-driven work. My aim is to contribute not only through technical expertise, but also through a grounded, mindful approach that helps organizations build systems that are both well-governed and resilient. I welcome connections to collaborate, share perspectives, or exchange ideas around audit, risk, governance, and mindful leadership.
