Sarth Lohokare

I’m an IT GRC and Audit professional with 4+ years of experience leading ITGC assessments, SOX compliance programmes, and technology risk management across financial services, FMCG, and professional services. As a Certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor, I bring hands-on expertise in COBIT, COSO, IT general controls, and audit lifecycle management—bridging technical findings into actionable risk guidance for executive and board-level stakeholders.

At Western Union, I lead end-to-end IT controls’ assessments across SDLC, IT general controls, Segregation of Duties (SOD), IT service management, and cybersecurity, and drive risk remediation across 28 control areas. I partnered with leaders to design a COBIT-aligned risk mitigation roadmap, drove 6 critical findings to closure in a recent regulatory review cycle, revised 15+ technology policies to reduce audit exceptions by 80%+, and supported enterprise access control frameworks to reduce privileged access violations. Previously at Kraft Heinz and EY, I executed SOX IT walkthroughs and control assessments (15+ in-scope systems) and delivered external/internal audit services (6 client engagements), including ITGC testing, IT automated control (ITAC) assessments, and risk-ranked management letters. I’m recognized with an EY Spot Award and a Kraft Heinz Achiever of the Month award for measurable client impact and internal control programme excellence.
