@charanyagopal
ACCA-qualified senior auditor specializing in IFRS reporting, SEC filings, and internal controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ACCA qualified Senior Audit and Accounting professional with 4+ years of experience in Big 4 and global firms. I bring a strong background in financial reporting, external and internal audit, and internal controls across oil & gas, banking, healthcare, and manufacturing.
In my recent role at Grant Thornton (Florida, USA), I performed quarterly and annual audits covering revenue, expenses, AR/AP, inventory, PPE, investments, assets and liabilities. I also supported preparation and review of SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q) for public clients and partnered with finance teams on variance analysis and KPI reporting.
At KPMG (Doha, Qatar), I led and executed audit engagements across multiple sectors, evaluating internal controls over operations, financial reporting, IT systems, and regulatory compliance. I conducted risk assessments, designed audit procedures, prepared IFRS-compliant financial statements, and assessed operating effectiveness through walk-through interviews and control testing.
I’m particularly focused on delivering high-quality results under tight timelines—managing multiple engagements, collaborating cross-functionally, and aligning work with SOX/internal control frameworks (COSO), IFRS/IAS standards, and US GAAP familiarity. My strength is turning complex audit and reporting requirements into clear, actionable outcomes.
