Ca Keyur Thakkar

Chartered Accountant with hands-on experience leading internal audit, statutory and tax audit, and GST compliance engagements for manufacturing and trading clients. Skilled in applying risk-based audit methodology aligned with ICAI Standards on Auditing and the Companies Act, 2013 to identify control gaps, strengthen Internal Financial Controls (IFC), and design SOPs that improve audit efficiency and documentation accuracy. This audit background translates directly to credit and lending risk work: routine evaluation of borrower-side financial statements, working capital cycles, cash flow quality, and internal control strength — the same fundamentals banks and NBFCs assess before extending credit.
