Statutory Audit

Continuing globalization will increase the complexity of principles, regulations, and the cultures in which organizations operate. Increasing litigation, legislation, and regulations will carry important compliance implications. Ever growing competition will increase the pressure on organizations to enhance productivity.

The principal objectives of the Statutory Audit is to ensure that the financial statements i.e. the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement give a true & fair view and are free from any material misstatements. We provide a legally required review of the accuracy of a company's financial records to determine whether an organization is providing a fair and accurate representation of its financial position by examining information such as bank balances, bookkeeping records and financial transactions.

Our approach to Statutory Audit of the financial statements is to provide reasonable assurance that the accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and is free of any misstatements, errors and discrepancies. In addition to the traditional statutory audit, we also help the clients by monitoring organizational ethics, conducting effective reviews of operational and financial performance, assessing the quality, economy and efficiency of their operations and suggesting continuous improvement strategies.
