About Sonu Kumar

I am a finance and assurance professional with a B.Com (Hons.) from Delhi University (2025), currently pursuing ACCA (9/13 papers cleared) and an MBA in International Finance — building expertise at the intersection of global financial standards, risk management, and internal controls. Over the past 5 months, I have worked on 3 live client engagements across the steel manufacturing, wood products, and US technology sectors — covering internal control assessments, process improvement mandates, and cross-border financial risk clearance. My engagements have included: — Evaluating internal control frameworks for companies with combined operating revenues exceeding ₹600 Cr, identifying design and operating effectiveness gaps across procurement, production, and financial reporting cycles — Documenting Risk Control Matrices (RCMs) covering 10+ key business processes, mapping process-level risks to existing controls and flagging high-priority gaps for management action — Conducting 15+ process walkthroughs and stakeholder interviews to assess IFC compliance under the Companies Act, 2013, and recommending remediation measures — Contributing to a cross-border financial risk clearance engagement for a US-based technology entity, where account-level discrepancies were identified and resolved, reducing financial misstatement risk across multiple reporting periods — Supporting process improvement initiatives that resulted in revised SOPs across 5+ operational workflows, strengthening the overall risk and control environment My ACCA curriculum — spanning Financial Reporting, Audit & Assurance, Financial Management, Performance Management, and Taxation across 9 cleared papers — directly reinforces my hands-on work and keeps me technically grounded in IFRS, ISA standards, and global compliance frameworks. My MBA in International Finance further adds a strategic lens covering cross-border transactions, FX risk, and global capital markets. I am actively building toward Due Diligence, Risk Analysis, and Internal Audit roles where analytical depth, control understanding, and financial acumen come together.
