Audit & Assurance
An audit should earn its fee.
There are two kinds of audits. One is a yearly ritual: vouchers get ticked, a report gets signed, and nobody learns anything. We have spent sixteen years doing the other kind — the one that ends with management knowing exactly where it stands, for private companies, MNC subsidiaries, government enterprises and banks.
What We Audit
Independence, scepticism and a deadline you can plan around.
Statutory Audit — Companies Act, 2013
Every Indian company needs one, regardless of size. We follow ICAI Standards on Auditing end to end: books and records, Schedule III presentation, CARO 2020 reporting, related-party scrutiny and going-concern assessment — planned backwards from your AGM and ROC deadlines.
Tax Audit — Section 44AB
Assessing officers read Form 3CD line by line. We prepare and certify Forms 3CA/3CB and 3CD with that audience in mind, and advise on the questions that catch businesses off guard: turnover computation, presumptive taxation interplay and applicability itself.
Internal Audit
A statutory audit looks backward once a year; an internal audit watches the business as it runs. We build risk-based programmes that test processes and controls and report findings management can act on the same quarter.
Transfer Pricing Audit
Audit and certification for international transactions with associated enterprises: Form 3CEB reporting, documentation review and the arm’s-length scrutiny cross-border related-party dealings now attract.
Management & Special Investigation Audits
Management audits of specific board concerns, compliance audits against India’s legal frameworks, and special investigation audits where something has gone wrong and the facts need establishing quickly, quietly and defensibly.
Stock Audit & Special Assignments
Stock audits for bankers and management, fixed-asset verification, revenue assurance and special-purpose certifications — quick turnarounds and working papers that stand up to review.
Our Audit Method
Risk first. Surprises never.
- Risk-first planning — we identify where the business could misstate before we open a single ledger.
- Focused fieldwork — substantive and controls testing aimed at the risks that matter, not blanket vouching.
- Partner review of every significant judgement and the final opinion.
- No-surprise closing — management hears every finding in a meeting before anything appears in writing.
- Follow-through — we track last year’s observations so problems get fixed, not refiled.
