Isaac Takyi is a technology strategist, systems architect, and IT audit professional, he brings to Maker Hybrand a rare convergence of deep technical expertise and strong business acumen — equipping the firm’s assurance practice with the analytical rigour required to evaluate complex digital environments, enterprise systems, and technology-driven risk landscapes.
Holding a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Master of Science in Information Systems — both from the University of Professional Studies, Accra — he operates at the intersection of technology governance and business performance. His dual academic foundation enables him to assess IT systems not merely as technical constructs, but as strategic assets with direct implications for financial integrity, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance.
In his IT audit capacity at Maker Hybrand, he applies hands-on expertise in enterprise systems, cybersecurity, data analytics, and process automation to support IT general controls reviews, application controls assessments, systems implementation audits, and technology risk evaluations. His practical background in architecting and deploying ERP systems, AI-powered solutions, and enterprise automation pipelines gives him firsthand insight into the design, vulnerabilities, and control frameworks of the very systems he is engaged to audit — a perspective that substantially enhances audit quality and depth.
Beyond his audit engagements, he works part time as an Information Systems consultant, focused on delivering custom enterprise solutions for clients across Ghana and West Africa. His work there spans ERP implementations, full-stack system development, AI integration, intelligent automation, data analytics, and cybersecurity strategy — experience that translates directly into a sharper, more informed approach to IT audit and advisory work.

An ordained Pastor, he leads with a God-centred approach grounded in integrity, transparency, and accountability — principles that are equally foundational to the assurance profession and to every engagement he undertakes at Maker Hybrand.
