A career spent inside the profession.

This advisory practice was established to provide independent guidance to organisations seeking stronger governance structures, more effective internal audit functions and better executive oversight of risk.

Its founder, Salih Ahmed Islam, has spent nearly three decades working across diverse international business environments — beginning his professional career at Arthur Andersen and later holding senior leadership roles in multinational organisations operating across Europe, Turkey and the Gulf region.

Over the course of his career, he has worked extensively across a broad range of industries including textile manufacturing, iron and steel production, petroleum operations, FMCG, cosmetics, large-scale retail networks and international distribution environments.

This cross-sector experience has created a uniquely broad perspective on how organisations operate, how risks evolve across industries, and how governance structures must adapt to different operational realities.

Throughout his professional journey, he has built internal audit departments from the ground up, designed enterprise-wide audit universes, led multi-country audit programs, conducted complex fraud investigations and advised executive leadership teams during periods of transformation, operational expansion and organisational change.

His perspective is shaped not only by technical expertise in audit and controls, but by years of direct exposure to highly different business models, operational structures and management cultures across manufacturing, industrial production, supply chain operations and multi-market retail environments.

Advisory assignments are accepted selectively, working with organisations and executive leadership teams that recognise the value of senior independent guidance built on deep international experience, cross-industry knowledge and practical understanding of how modern organisations manage risk, governance and long-term resilience.
