Senior accountability that doesn't transfer.

Big-Four-scale bench depth combined with named senior accountability that survives the engagement. The senior who scopes the work is accountable through delivery.

Founder

Kanika Gupta

Founder · Rapid Momentum Consulting

CA · CISA · CFE

Kanika is the founder of Rapid Momentum Consulting and leads the firm's cross-border financial controls and ICFR practice. She brings a Big Four background, deep SOX/ICFR specialisation, and in-house experience at a TSX-listed regulated utility, the combination of credentials and engagement history that the firm's financial-controls positioning rests on.

Her credentials anchor the firm's financial-controls and audit practice: Chartered Accountant (India), Certified Information Systems Auditor (ISACA), and Certified Fraud Examiner (ACFE), spanning financial reporting controls, information-systems audit, and forensic and fraud risk, the disciplines at the centre of cross-border ICFR work. The firm's EHS, industrial-hygiene, safety, ISO and energy credentials are held across the senior bench, where the relevant specialist is named accountable on each engagement.

Prior to founding RAMC, Kanika spent the formative phase of her career inside the Big Four audit profession, then in-house at Caribbean Utilities Company (CUC), the TSX-listed Fortis Inc. subsidiary, where she led financial-controls, ICFR, and adjacent assurance work in the regulated-utility context. That in-house tenure remains a live engagement basis: CUC is now a named RAMC client with multiple concurrent workstreams.

Kanika is based in Greater Boston. She is the named accountable partner on the firm's cross-border financial-controls engagements and the editorial accountable owner of the firm's thought leadership in the ICFR / SOX / NI 52-109 domain.

Operating model

The three-tier delivery bench.

The firm operates a three-tier delivery model that combines institutional bench capacity with partner-level accountability on every engagement. The tiers are how we sustain delivery at scale; the accountability framework is how we keep the senior who scopes the work accountable through delivery.

Tier 1

Veterans

~24 senior practitioners

25-30+ years of experience across the firm's five service-line clusters. Service-line accountability sits at this level. Every engagement has a named Veteran accountable from first call through delivery, that accountability does not transfer to another partner mid-engagement.

Tier 2

Senior Consultants

15-20 years experience

Engagement leadership and technical depth. Senior Consultants run the day-to-day execution under the accountable Veteran's direction. They are themselves practitioners with established credentials in the relevant domain, not generalists deployed across whatever is currently busy.

Tier 3

Consultants

5-10 years experience

Execution capacity with senior oversight. Consultants supply the operating bandwidth that makes engagements at distributed-asset scale feasible, but every Consultant operates under the technical direction of a Senior Consultant who is themselves under Veteran accountability.

Specialist bench

31 subject-matter specialists across five clusters.

In addition to the three-tier delivery bench, the firm maintains a permanent specialist bench of 31 subject-matter experts organised into five clusters. The specialists are the depth that gets called when an engagement touches a specific technical domain, and they are named in the engagement letter so the client knows who is doing the specialist work.

  • EHS, process safety and energy: distributed-asset safety governance, PESO and OISD compliance, Factories Act application, process safety management, life-safety auditing, electrical safety auditing, energy audits and BEE/PAT support
  • ISO management systems: ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22301, 27001, 50001; integrated management system design; certification audit readiness; lead auditor capacity across all six standards
  • Financial controls and SOX/ICFR: SOX 302/404/906, NI 52-109, ICFR programme architecture, internal audit charter design, COSO 2013 deployment, cross-border MJDS issuer support
  • Enterprise and operational risk: ERM frameworks, business continuity (ISO 22301), third-party risk management, operational assurance, IT governance, SAP and ERP controls
  • ESG and sustainability: BRSR disclosure (SEBI), CSRD and ESRS preparation, IFRS S1 and S2 climate disclosure, ESG materiality assessment, sustainability assurance
Accountability framework

What “senior-led” means in practice.

“Senior-led” is the easiest claim to make and the hardest to keep. The firm's operating framework treats it as an operational commitment, not a marketing claim. In practice this means:

  • The senior practitioner who scopes the engagement is named in the engagement letter and remains the accountable partner through delivery. There is no transfer to a different senior mid-engagement without the client's explicit consent.
  • Specialist work within the engagement is performed by the named specialists on the engagement letter, not delegated to whoever is currently available. If a specialist becomes unavailable, the engagement letter is amended and the client is informed of the replacement.
  • Senior practitioners maintain direct client contact through the engagement. The model is not “the Veteran shows up for the kickoff and the year-end review.” The Veteran is the accountable point of contact on substantive matters throughout.
  • Deliverables are reviewed and signed off by the accountable Veteran before they leave the firm. Every deliverable bears the name of a senior practitioner who has reviewed it personally.
  • Engagement quality is measured at the Veteran level, not by aggregate firm metrics, and Veterans are accountable for the engagements bearing their name.

These are the operating disciplines that translate “institutional bench, focused-firm accountability” from a marketing line into the way engagements are actually delivered.

Talk to the firm

Begin with the senior who will lead your engagement.

The first conversation is with a senior practitioner who will, if the engagement proceeds, be the accountable partner through delivery. That is the operating model. No junior intake calls; no transfer after scoping.
