Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies require a statutory audit in India?
All companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013 regardless of turnover or profitability require a statutory audit by a Chartered Accountant. This includes private limited companies, public limited companies, OPCs, and foreign subsidiaries operating in India.
When is a tax audit under Section 44AB mandatory?
A tax audit is mandatory when business turnover exceeds Rs.1 crore (Rs.10 crore if 95% of receipts and payments are digital), or when professional receipts exceed Rs.50 lakh. It is also required when a taxpayer opts out of presumptive taxation under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE.
What is an internal audit and does my business need one?
An internal audit independently examines your business processes, internal controls, risk management systems, and compliance framework. It is mandatory under the Companies Act for certain large companies. For growing businesses it helps identify inefficiencies and prevent fraud before they become material issues.
How long does a statutory audit take?
For most small and medium companies a statutory audit takes 2 to 4 weeks from the date we receive complete books and supporting documents. Complex audits with multiple entities or foreign transactions may take longer. We plan timelines in advance to meet all reporting deadlines.
What documents do I need to provide for the audit?
Typically required documents include trial balance, bank statements, fixed asset register, loan agreements, GST returns, TDS challans and returns, invoices, contracts, board resolutions, and the previous year audit report. We provide a detailed checklist at the start of each engagement.
What is the difference between a statutory audit and a limited review?
A statutory audit provides a high level of assurance based on comprehensive examination of financial records. A limited review provides moderate assurance based on enquiries and analytical procedures without full verification. Listed companies must have half-yearly financial results reviewed under SEBI regulations.
Do you conduct audits for non-profit organisations and NGOs?
Yes. We conduct audits for trusts, societies, and Section 8 companies including preparation of Form 10B, Form 10BB, and the annual activity report. We also assist with FCRA audit requirements for organisations receiving foreign contributions.
