Arun Sasikumar

I am a risk and compliance expert with a dynamic career spanning multiple industries and geographies, including pharma, FMCG, petroleum, manufacturing, chemicals, NGOs, construction, and hospitality. With eight years of experience in accounting, audit, financial reporting, and risk assessment, I have navigated complex regulatory landscapes, ensuring compliance, operational efficiency, and financial integrity.

Having worked across Rwanda, India, and East Africa, I bring a global perspective to enterprise risk management, with a strong focus on process optimization, IT governance, and audit automation. My recent work at Bough Consulting has sharpened my ability to integrate technology into risk frameworks, bridging traditional audit practices with AI-driven automation.

I eat, breathe, and think risk, ensuring organizations move beyond reactive compliance to strategic, data-driven risk mitigation. Passionate about the intersection of business risk and IT transformation, I aim to drive audit automation innovations that improve accuracy, efficiency, and shareholder confidence.

I am semi-qualified ACCA, having successfully completed 12 out of 13 papers, alongside a bachelor’s degree in hotel management. My education has given me a strong foundation in financial reporting, risk assessment, audit, and compliance, complemented by a deep understanding of business operations and strategic risk management. This diverse academic background equips me to navigate complex financial and regulatory landscapes while embracing digital transformation in risk and audit.
