Prior to joining Australian Audit, Viral was a sole practitioner for 8 years running his practice under the banner of AuditPlus Solutions. He built up his practice through delivery of quality, efficient and friendly service through a referral network with a number of Accountants across Australia.

Viral specialises in both financial report audits and compliance audits such as those for companies, not-for-profit entities, AFS Licensees, Trust accounts, and self-managed superannuation fund audits. His recent stint with internal audits has proven a success for business managers who would leave the scrutiny to independent auditors rather than spend time on checking whether their own set controls and procedures are working as they should.
