FAQs

What clients ask before signing.

Is internal audit mandatory in India?

Yes for companies meeting the criteria under Section 138 of the Companies Act 2013 — broadly, listed companies, certain unlisted public companies, and private companies above defined turnover and borrowing thresholds.

Can the same firm do internal audit and statutory audit?

No. We act as internal auditors and liaise with your appointed statutory auditor. Independence between the two functions is preserved.

Do you support Ind-AS conversions?

Yes. Ind-AS first-time adoption and ongoing reporting are within scope where applicable.

How is the audit plan agreed?

An annual risk-based plan is presented to the audit committee or promoter group at the start of each year and revised mid-year if required.

What is included in due-diligence preparation?

A structured data-room build covering financials, tax, legal, HR and operations data — typically the same structure investors and lenders expect.

Trust & Confidentiality

Your financial data is treated like a liability on our own books.

NDA before any data exchange

Every engagement begins with a signed non-disclosure agreement — before a single ledger, return or invoice is shared.

Named team only

Your account is owned by a CA-led team you can name. No junior interns, no rotating handlers, no offshore handoffs.

Encrypted document exchange

Financial documents move through access-controlled, encrypted channels. Email attachments are not our default — secure portals are.

ICAI-registered practice

Lead engagements are signed off by ICAI-registered Chartered Accountants. GST work is owned by certified GST Practitioners.

India-hosted infrastructure

Client books, working papers and supporting documents are stored on India-resident, access-controlled infrastructure.

Quarterly access reviews

Internal access lists are reviewed every quarter. Departing team members lose access on the same business day.
