Risk Advisory & Internal Financial Controls

Section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act requires auditors to report on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of internal financial controls. For Indian subsidiaries of US-listed groups, SOX 404 adds a parallel obligation. We design, document, and test these controls end to end — a service grounded in years of IFC and SOX engagement experience at PwC India.
