Consulting

Any business, big or small operates in a volatile environment comprising of people, processes, systems and technology. The businesses operate in a highly digitalised environment which poses inherent as well as new risks. Also, adherence to various laws and regulations at domestic and global levels becomes applicable. A strong consulting team is essential to take care of risk management, assets management, legal compliances, forensics and many more functions within an organisation. We, at Sharp and Tannan, provide a wide range of consulting services to help our clients in evaluating their risks and minimise/bring them down to an acceptable level. Our consulting services include legal advisory and compliance, fixed assets management, enterprise risk management (ERM), forensic, data-driven services, process consulting, and many more services under a single roof.

Construction management services

The Construction Management Services (CMS) vertical of Sharp & Tannan covers two broad segments:  

Industrial capital expenditure: This vertical was specifically created to cater to companies experiencing growth through greenfield / brownfield expansions. Since the capital spend cycle for creating additional infrastructure is not repeated every year, companies don’t readily invest in it. This is amplified by the fact that the Indian construction industry is yet to adopt best practices, especially in quality and billing.


Residential construction: This vertical caters to the actual construction aspect of real estate. With multiple sites coming up in multiple locations, spending must be monitored, and the quality of construction be enhanced. 

To achieve this, a skilled team comprising 45+ engineers with an average of 15 years of experience, and a panel of chartered accountants from Sharp & Tannan Associates partners with clients to provide assurances on billings and quality of construction.

Forensics

In the recent past, the global business landscape has undergone enormous shifts, with technology driving the way of doing business. The benefits of technology can never be overemphasised; however, the occurrence of fraud has risen globally. To identify and prevent the incidence of fraud, regulators in India and all over the world have introduced various preventive mechanisms. In India, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Reserve Bank of India and SEBI have devised certain risk assessment and regulatory mechanisms to prevent/report probable frauds. We provide preventive and detective forensic services coupled with a strong software support to ensure that the frauds are prevented/minimised and if they happen, they are detected.

Process consulting

Every business employs processes to carry out its business activities smoothly. The business processes adhere to the internal policies, the prevailing laws and regulations and are carried out within the internal control framework.

The management of the business needs to understand whether the processes employed effective and are up-to-date in terms of legal compliances. There is also a cost-benefit analysis.

We conduct audits required under specific laws like energy audit, water audit, product carbon footprint audit according to greenhouse gas protocol, sustainability reporting, assessment of ESG parameters, etc. We also assist clients in carrying out the gap analysis and presenting a cost-benefit analysis of their business processes.

Fixed asset management services

Fixed assets are valuable assets for an enterprise. Companies with multiple manufacturing locations and offices find it challenging to maintain a proper trail (physical and document form) of their fixed assets. ‘The work from anywhere trend’ has made it more challenging for companies to manage their moveable assets like laptops. The law requires an appropriate classification of the fixed assets and requires the auditor to vouch for their accurate reporting/ disclosure for legal and tax purposes. We possess the necessary expertise and experience in managing your fixed assets keeping in mind the clients’ operating and legal requirements.
