Fraud and the audit profession
- Posted on: April 15, 2025
The audit profession is vital to maintain integrity of financial statements and governance. Yet, today, there are several audit failures in India and regulatory oversight and enforcement of bad audits is at an all-time high. Expectation of stakeholders from the audit profession is increasing and yet, being an auditor is not the top choice for youth of India.
In today’s podcast, we discuss how audit has evolved over time, restoring integrity in the audit profession and the future of the audit profession in India especially with the advent of AI, GenAI and its derivatives.
Our guest today is Mr. Ramakrishnan, Co-Founder, Vice-Chairman and Partner at PKF SRIDHAR & SANTHANAM LLP.

Transparency and trust are the cornerstone of any business. We have all heard this famous quote by Warren Buffet, the legendary investor and owner of Berkshire Hathway “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
Unfortunately, well established companies or new age startups pay little or no attention to safeguarding their reputation.
In this month’s podcast, we will discuss the impact of fraud on the reputation and brand of a company. Our speaker today is Ms. Nirupama Kaushik. Ms. Kaushik leads the Qualitative research and Innovation practice globally at Brandscapes worldwide, a global brand consulting firm
