Audit Support
Walk into your audit with reconciled books, ready schedules and answered queries — whether it's a tax audit, statutory audit or GST departmental audit.
Overview
Audits go badly for the same reason every time: the auditor arrives before the books are ready. Unreconciled banks, missing vouchers, ledgers that disagree with GST returns, and no one prepared to answer queries — that is how a routine audit becomes qualified observations, penalties, or weeks of disruption. Businesses face several kinds: tax audit under section 44AB once turnover crosses prescribed limits, statutory audit (mandatory for every company), and departmental audits where GST or income tax officers examine your records.
Audit support is the preparation layer: we close and reconcile the books, prepare every schedule and annexure the audit will ask for, reconcile books against GST and TDS returns before the auditor does, sit in on the audit to field queries with documents, and manage the follow-up until the report or proceeding is closed. For tax audits we prepare the complete Form 3CD data; the audit itself is signed by the independent auditor the law requires.
Who needs this
- Businesses crossing tax audit (44AB) turnover limits for the first time
- Companies preparing for their statutory audit and wanting a clean, fast one
- Taxpayers selected for a GST departmental audit or records verification
- Businesses whose last audit produced qualifications or long open-query lists
- Entities needing books, schedules and reconciliations brought audit-ready quickly
Documents required
- Books of account for the period (or the raw data if books need completion)
- Bank statements for all accounts, loan statements and sanction letters
- GST returns filed for the period, and TDS statements
- Fixed asset purchase invoices and existing asset register, if any
- Previous year's audited financials and audit report
Your case may need one or two documents more or fewer — we confirm the exact checklist before starting.
How it works
-
Readiness review
We assess the state of the books against what this audit will demand, and give you a gap list with a timeline — the honest distance between today and audit-ready.
-
Books closed & reconciled
Pending entries are posted, banks and ledgers reconciled, and the trial balance tied to GST and TDS returns — the reconciliations an auditor checks first are done before they arrive.
-
Schedules & annexures
Fixed asset register, loan schedules, related-party details, expense groupings and (for tax audits) the complete Form 3CD clause-wise data are prepared and indexed.
-
Audit & closure
During the audit we field queries with documents so your team isn't pulled apart; afterwards we implement the corrections and follow the report or proceeding to closure.
What you receive
- Audit-ready books with bank and ledger reconciliations
- Complete schedules and annexures, indexed for the auditor
- Books-vs-GST-vs-TDS reconciliation statements
- Query handling during the audit and follow-up to closure
Pricing
Fixed fee, quoted in writing before work begins. The fee depends on your business constitution and the complexity of the case, so we quote after a short (free) conversation — never after the work is done.
