Bharat K Laljani's Linkedin Analytics

I am a seasoned finance professional with over 20 years of extensive experience in the domains of internal audit and finance across geographies of India, Middle East and Europe. Holding prestigious qualifications as a Chartered Accountant and Certified Internal Auditor, I bring a wealth of expertise and leadership to my current role as the Head of Internal Audit for a listed entity. In my current position, I also serve as the appointed Secretary for the Audit Committee, collaborating with stakeholders ranging from Department Heads to the CEO and Directors. My responsibilities encompass not only managing internal audit function but also overseeing internal control over financial reporting (ICOFR). My commitment extends beyond routine tasks; I specialize in identifying and mitigating fraud risks, offering comprehensive solutions for investigation and control issues. I play a pivotal role in developing and implementing policies and procedures, offering valuable governance-related advice to drive organizational excellence. Through my two decades of dedicated service, I have consistently provided strategic insights that contribute to the overall success and integrity of the organizations I serve. I firmly contend that an organization equipped with well-structured and efficient internal controls, coupled with sound governance practices, is better positioned for growth. Such an entity, in its expansion, becomes less vulnerable to unjustifiable losses and is well-prepared to mitigate the impact of any unforeseen challenges. I am a quick learner and loe to adapt the new technologies and trends. I strongly believe high EQ along with IQ is very important to be a successful leader and to create win-win situations for all. I carry the values of integrity, honesty, and compassion in my work and life.
