Anurag Chopra is the Founder and President of Marathon Tools, Inc., and himself directs the work at Gateway2India Internal Auditor, based here at Gurugam. Being a small business entrepreneur, he truly understands the difficulties, risks and opportunities a business owner manages everyday. This makes us distinctive, and equips us to deliver the most beneficial internal audits and be your trusted advisor. He has done MBA in Finance from Duke University, USA, B.A. (Honours) Economics from Hindu College, Delhi University and is a Certified Internal Auditor® (CIA®). Interest in metalwork and doing business connected with factories developed due to growing up in a steel town as son of a hardworking metallurgical engineer.

We really want your company to succeed, and go all out with our heart and soul. Most companies can afford us, cost is no problem. What is really needed is the correct "tone at the top". Our association yields exceptional success when the auditee company's owners genuinely make the required effort to make the difficult work culture changes which are necessary.

Risk velocity and accompanying opportunity have never been greater than they are now, and the key is identifying those which present the most significant threats and advantages to the organisation, a bit ahead of time and preparing accordingly. We recognise that there is the need to audit at the speed of risk. A very honest SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) is a good start.

We anticipate risk, detect it and have the factory take mitigative measures. We also assess opportunity and suggest ways to avail it. Our work preserves and enhances value because internal audit work program is aligned to achieve strategic objectives of the stakeholders. Assurance and advise is provided by deploying qualitative cum quantitative analysis and digital technology. With foresight, and through insightful and timely communication which emanates from integrity and courage, we have been improving stakeholder relations and growing their business. Due to work ethic and participative approach we are able to develop a tightly knit, focused team which delivers good outcomes in Business Strategy, Assurance, Quality, RESA Social, Scan CTPAT and ESG audits.

The assurance function has adapted to include a hybrid workplace environment, and no key risks are falling through the cracks because they aren't being always audited in person. A great many professionals are working remotely now. Auditors are no different. Adapting to this environment requires a resilient and transformative mindset. Combining remote working with the traditional means is proving to be suitable!

The assurance function continues to emphasise audit quality. Audit has not relaxed its commitment to quality or conformance with the standards. We have time-tested comprehensive methodologies for undertaking the audits and inspections. When evidence can't be physically examined because of a remote work environment we have adapted the policies and procedures to ensure that a basis for our conclusions can be established. We remain committed to quality and have taken steps to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the information even when auditing hybridly.

An ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders ensures that we are all well-informed and different perspectives are being considered. The current period is full of disruptive and unexpected events. It is likely that the key risks will linger on or become more severe, and throw up amazing opportunities. As auditors we consider;

Protecting and enhancing stakeholder wealth.
