Karthick Babu

I’m an Audit Senior Chartered Accountant with 4.5 years of experience, specializing in statutory audits for clients in the Telecommunication, Media, and Technology (TMT) sectors. I’ve supported audits with large mobile turnovers of ~$2 billion, and I’m experienced in conducting audits under both AICPA and PCAOB standards.

In my current role with Deloitte India (Offices of the US), I perform substantive audit procedures—testing transactions, account balances, and supporting documentation—to obtain sufficient audit evidence and ensure financial statement accuracy and completeness. I also run consolidation audit work for multinational clients, evaluate Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting (ICOFR), and test complex areas like Management Override Journal Entries, leases, and stock compensation.

I bring strong audit judgment, attention to detail, and a value-driven mindset, enhanced by AI-enabled audit tools and data analytics to streamline documentation review, reconciliation, and validation. Previously, I served as an Audit Lead and Articled Assistant, handling statutory bank audits, internal control assistance, and compliance work including Income Tax Returns, Tax Audit Reports, GST, and MCA requirements—along with training and recognition for audit quality.
