Vamsi Krishna K

I’m a Chartered Accountant with 8+ years of expertise in Audit & Assurance and Risk Management across Big 4 audit firms and publicly traded multinational corporations (US-based). I focus on delivering end-to-end assurance through financial, operational, compliance, and IT application audits across affiliate, Entity, and Global Capability Center operations.

I perform comprehensive risk assessments, develop and maintain risk control matrix, and execute risk-based internal audits aligned to COSO principles and IIA’s Global Internal Auditing Standards. I design, implement, and test Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (ICoFR/IFC), including IT General controls (GITC) and IT Automatic controls (ITAC) to strengthen control effectiveness.

At IFF (Global Internal Audit), I assist in building the annual audit plan and lead risk-based and general internal audit assignments across EMEA and GA regions. I prepare and present formal audit reports, track remediation, run SOX risk assessment, and lead the global Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) 404 program and related ICoFR (IFC) for multiple LE’s across countries, while coordinating with external auditors and stakeholders.

Previously, with B S R & CO LLP (KPMG), I audited standalone and consolidated financial statements under IFRS, Ind AS, and US GAAP and managed statutory audit processes from planning to completion. I also tested IFC-equivalent controls, worked with IT control teams, mentored audit staff, and supported a 6-month secondment working on GCC-based statutory audits; earlier, during CA articleship, I strengthened internal controls and supported IFC implementation for client groups.
