About Raghunath J Pai

I help organizations uncover hidden risks, strengthen compliance, and protect enterprise value through a blend of forensic analytics, royalty audits, advertising contract reviews, and revenue assurance.With 14 years of experience across Deloitte, KPMG, BDO, and Withum, I specialize in turning complex financial and contractual data into clear, defensible insights that support leadership decisions, negotiations, and risk mitigation.My work focuses on:• Royalty & Licensing Audits—detecting underreported royalties, validating licensing terms, and resolving disputes.• Advertising Contract Reviews—assessing receivable quality, incentive structures, termination clauses, and hidden liabilities.• Forensic Data Analytics—identifying anomalies in subscription revenue, deferred revenue, advertiser receivables, and cash-flow timing.• Compliance Dashboards & Automation – building real-time visibility into obligations, KPIs, and financial risks while reducing manual effort by 30–40%.• Due Diligence & Valuation Support – normalizing EBITDA, reviewing contingent liabilities, benchmarking performance, and supporting investor decisions.Representative Impact:For a major OTT platform, I uncovered a $40–50M valuation risk linked to royalty misstatements, disputed content-provider claims, and aging advertiser receivables. My analysis strengthened the investor’s negotiation leverage and reduced transaction exposure.Core Skills:• Forensic Accounting • Contract Compliance • Revenue Assurance • Fraud & Risk Analytics • Transaction Testing • Due Diligence • Financial Modelling • Data Transformation • Dashboarding • Workflow Automation • Stakeholder ManagementTools: Power BI • SQL • Alteryx • Python • Tableau • VBAI’m currently exploring opportunities to lead forensic analytics, royalty audit, and advertising compliance functions for organizations seeking stronger governance, scalable analytics, and transparent decision-making.If you’re building a risk-intelligent, compliance-focused enterprise, I’d love to connect.
