Audit
Statutory, tax, GST, internal, information system and special audits carried out under the applicable standards.
An audit is an independent examination against a defined framework, and its value lies in that independence. We carry out statutory audits under the Companies Act 2013, tax audits under Section 44AB, GST audits, internal audits and information system audits, applying the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI and reporting findings with the supporting evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tax audit is required once turnover or gross receipts exceed the limit specified in Section 44AB for the category of assessee, with a higher limit available where prescribed proportions of receipts and payments are non-cash. The applicable limit has changed several times in recent years, so it should be checked for the relevant assessment year.
A statutory audit is required by law, addresses shareholders, and results in an opinion on whether the financial statements give a true and fair view. An internal audit is commissioned by management, addresses the effectiveness of controls and processes, and reports to management rather than to shareholders.
No. Independence rules under the Companies Act and the ICAI Code of Ethics prohibit the same firm from auditing accounts it has written up. Where we maintain the books, the statutory audit must be carried out by a different firm.
