Tax Audit (Sec 44AB)

Comprehensive tax audit for businesses and professionals who exceed the prescribed turnover / gross receipts thresholds. We prepare the revised Form 3CD (effective from AY 2026-27 onwards), Form 3CA / 3CB, and ensure all new disclosure requirements — including MSME payment reporting and VDA transactions — are addressed.

  • Form 3CD (effective AY 2026-27) preparation
  • 30+ clause analysis: MSME, VDA, buyback, TDS defaults
  • Form 3CA / 3CB certification by CA

Internal Audit & Risk

Risk-based internal audit to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls, identify process gaps, and prevent fraud. We follow a risk-based audit approach aligned to IIA standards and ICAI guidance, covering financial, operational, and IT controls — with an emphasis on IFC requirements under Companies Act 2013.

  • Risk-based audit planning and scoping
  • Process audits: procurement, payroll, revenue, inventory
  • IFC design and operating effectiveness testing
  • Fraud risk assessment and red flag identification

Due Diligence

Financial and tax due diligence for investment decisions, mergers, acquisitions, and fundraising. We review the target's financial statements, tax compliance history, contingent liabilities, related-party transactions, and regulatory filings — providing a clear risk summary for decision-makers.

  • Financial due diligence: P&L, balance sheet, cash flows
  • Tax due diligence: pending demands, litigation, compliance gaps
  • Contingent liability identification and quantification
  • Post-DD integration and compliance roadmap
