FAQs

Common questions, answered plainly

What is included in a statutory audit?

A statutory audit covers the examination of books of account, supporting records, reconciliations and disclosures so the auditor can report on whether the financial statements give a true and fair view. It includes planning, risk assessment, testing of balances and transactions, and reporting under the applicable company law and auditing standards.

How should a company prepare for an audit?

Close the books, complete bank, vendor, GST and TDS reconciliations, update the fixed asset register, gather loan and related-party documentation, and resolve prior-year observations. We share a preparation checklist before fieldwork so the audit runs without repeated information requests.

Do you conduct internal control reviews?

Yes. We review controls across procurement, payroll, revenue, inventory and compliance cycles, identify gaps and recommend practical fixes sized for the organisation, not textbook frameworks that never get implemented.

Can you help clean up books before the audit?

Yes. Our bookkeeping team can bring ledgers, reconciliations and schedules to audit-ready condition before fieldwork begins, which shortens the audit and reduces surprises. Where independence rules apply, the clean-up and audit roles are kept appropriately separated.

What documents are required for a trust audit?

Typically the trust deed and registration documents, books of account, donor and donation records, bank statements, investment details, and prior filings. The exact list depends on the trust's activities and registrations, we share a tailored checklist at the start.
