At Varah Risk Advisory Services LLP, we help organizations strengthen governance, enhance internal controls, and build confidence in their financial reporting through high-quality, cost-efficient GRC solutions. Led by professionals with Big-4 pedigree and decades of global experience, we bring together deep technical knowledge, practical insight, and a commitment to exceptional client service. Our work spans SOX / ICFR Compliance, Internal Audit, Internal Controls Advisory, and a specialized Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) validation service for AI-driven controls testing – an offering uniquely positioned to serve the evolving needs of modern compliance teams.
We operate through a highly efficient offshore model based in India, enabling clients and onshore partners to access experienced talent, scalable delivery capacity, and predictable engagement quality – without the overhead of building offshore infrastructure. Our team brings 40+ years of combined experience in SOX/ICFR, Internal Audit, and Controls Advisory work, including 30+ years within Big-4 firms, giving us the expertise and discipline of large global practices with the agility and personalized attention of a dedicated boutique firm.
What We Do
We specialize in helping organizations – including professional services firms, public companies, private companies, and pre-IPO entities – address core areas of governance, risk, and compliance:
SOX / ICFR Compliance
End-to-end readiness, ongoing compliance, controls testing, deficiency remediation, and controls rationalization.
Internal Audit
Risk-based audits aligned to IIA standards, supported by data-driven insights and operational recommendations.
Internal Controls Advisory
Controls design, optimization, benchmarking, fraud risk assessment, COSO gap reviews, policy & procedure evaluation, and third-party risk reviews.
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) for AI Testing
A niche offering where our experts validate the input, logic, and outputs of AI-driven SOX/ICFR testing – ensuring reliability, accuracy, and trust in automated controls testing programs. This service directly supports CPA firms and companies transitioning to AI-enabled compliance models.
