Statutory Audit Services — Kya Kya Covered Hai?

Statutory audit ek multi-step process hai — auditor appointment, fieldwork, CARO reporting, IFC assessment aur final audit report. Vakilo par har step mein support available hai.

01

Auditor Appointment — Section 139

First auditor: BOD mein incorporation ke 30 din ke andar appoint karte hain; first AGM mein confirm hota hai. Subsequent: shareholders AGM mein appoint karte hain — individual CA max 5 consecutive years, CA firm max 10 years (listed/specified public companies mein rotation mandatory). Form ADT-1: appointment ke 15 din ke andar ROC ke saath file karni hoti hai. Auditor change ya resign hone par ADT-3 file hoti hai.

02

CARO 2020 — Companies Auditor's Report Order

CARO 2020 (applicable to most companies except OPC, small companies, Section 8, banking/insurance, private companies with paid-up capital ≤₹1Cr AND turnover ≤₹10Cr AND no public borrowings ≤₹1Cr): auditor 21 clauses par reporting karta hai — fixed assets verifikation, inventory physical count, loans/advances to related parties, statutory dues compliance (TDS/GST/PF), fraud, internal audit, use of funds, net worth.

03

Audit Opinion Types — SA 700/705

Unqualified (Clean) Opinion: financial statements true and fair view present karte hain — sab ✓. Qualified Opinion: "except for" certain matter (immaterial issue). Adverse Opinion: financial statements not true and fair — serious misstatement/fraud. Disclaimer of Opinion: auditor unable to form opinion — insufficient evidence/independence issue. ICAI SA 700, SA 705, SA 706 standards govern opinion expression.

04

Internal Financial Controls — Section 143(3)(i)

Companies Act 2013 ke under auditor financial reporting par internal financial controls (IFC) adequacy report karta hai. IFC assessment: process controls (authorization, reconciliation), system controls (IT systems), preventive aur detective controls. Weak IFC: qualified opinion ya significant deficiency reporting hoti hai Board ko. Strong IFC: audit risk kam hoti hai, audit timeline faster.

05

Section 143(12) — Fraud Reporting

Auditor ko ₹1Cr ya usse zyada suspected/actual fraud discover hone par: (1) immediately Board/Audit Committee ko report karo, (2) 60 din mein Board response na mile to Central Government ko Form ADT-4 se report karo. ₹1Cr se kam fraud: Board/Audit Committee ko report, annual financial statements mein disclose. Fraud report karna auditor ka mandatory statutory duty hai — failure par Section 147 prosecution.

06

Section 144 — Auditor Prohibited Services

Auditor jo audit karta hai us company ko yeh services nahi de sakta: book-keeping/accounting, internal audit, design of financial information systems, actuarial services, investment advisory, management services, outsourced financial services. Independent mindset maintain karna ICAI ethical standards aur Companies Act dono ke under mandatory hai. Violation: Section 147 penalty + deregistration.

07

Tax Audit vs Statutory Audit — Difference

Statutory Audit: Companies Act under har company ke liye mandatory — auditor BOD/shareholders appoint karte hain, financial year close ke baad. Tax Audit (Section 44AB): Income Tax Act under — business turnover >₹3Cr (cash >5%) ya >₹10Cr (cash <5%), professional income >₹75L; September 30 deadline. Different auditor allowed. Dono alag mandatory requirements hain — dono karne ke baad AOC-4 ya ITR file hoti hai.

08

Internal Audit, Secretarial Audit aur Cost Audit

Internal Audit (Section 138): certain companies mandatory — listed, or unlisted public (capital ≥₹50Cr ya turnover ≥₹200Cr), or private (turnover ≥₹200Cr ya loans ≥₹100Cr). Secretarial Audit (Section 204): listed + public companies (capital ≥₹50Cr ya turnover ≥₹250Cr) — CS in practice karta hai. Cost Audit (Section 148): government-specified industries (cement, steel, pharma, etc.). Hamare consultants yeh sab identify karte hain jo aapke company par applicable hain.

Bhilwara Mein Statutory Audit Ka Process — Step-by-Step

Statutory audit ek structured process hai jo financial year close hone ke saath shuru hota hai. Vakilo ke saath yeh process timely aur compliant hota hai:

1

Step 1

Financial year close (March 31) ke baad books finalize karein — provisional trial balance, bank reconciliation, debtors/creditors reconciliation, fixed asset register update karein

2

Step 2

Auditor appoint/confirm karein — agar existing auditor hai to re-appointment confirm karein; new auditor chahiye to ADT-1 file ke saath appoint karein (BOD resolution + Form ADT-1 AGM ke 15 din ke andar)

3

Step 3

Auditor ko engagement letter aur management representation letter send karein — audit timeline agree karein (typically April-July)

4

Step 4

Audit fieldwork: auditor ke document requests fulfill karein — bank statements, invoices, contracts, TDS reconciliation, GST reconciliation, fixed assets physical verification support

5

Step 5

CARO 2020 specific items respond karein — if applicable: fixed asset register, inventory count records, related party transactions, statutory dues challans, loan documents

6

Step 6

Internal Financial Controls review: key business processes document karein — purchase approval, payment authorization, reconciliation procedures. Weakness areas auditor ko transparently batayein

7

Step 7

Audit adjustments incorporate karein — auditor observations ya adjustments agar hain to management ke saath discuss, finalise karein. Final audited financial statements approve karein

8

Step 8

Audit report receive karein — sign karo Board Resolution se. Director's Report prepare karein (Section 134). AOC-4 ke saath ROC par file karo — XBRL format agar applicable

Statutory Audit Non-Compliance — Consequences

Statutory audit timely nahi karaya to company annual compliance incomplete rehti hai — penalties, ROC non-compliance aur stakeholder trust damage hoti hai.

01

AOC-4 Late Filing — Section 403 Progressive Fees

Audit nahi hua to AOC-4 file nahi hogi — late filing progressive fees: ≤30 days 2x, 30-60 days 4x, 60-90 days 6x, 90-180 days 10x, >180 days 12x normal fee. AGM bhi conduct nahi ho sakti bina audited accounts ke — Section 96 AGM violation bhi aata hai.

02

Section 147 — Auditor Penalty

Auditor ne prohibited services provide ki, qualification nahi, ya duties fulfill nahi ki — Section 147 ke under individual CA: ₹25,000 to ₹5L penalty; audit firm: ₹1L to ₹25L. Serious violations mein Section 447 fraud prosecution — imprisonment + fine. ICAI bhi disciplinary action le sakta hai — license cancel ya suspend.

03

Qualified/Adverse Opinion Impact

Qualified opinion: banks loan renewal mein extra scrutiny karte hain, investors concern raise karte hain. Adverse opinion: company's financial statements ko false/misleading maana jaata hai — serious regulatory attention aa sakti hai. Adverse opinion wali company ke directors ka credibility stakeholders ke saath major damage hoti hai.

04

Section 143(12) Fraud Non-Reporting

Auditor ko fraud discover hua lekin report nahi kiya — Section 147 penalty + prosecution. Company ke officer fraud ka participant maane ja sakte hain Section 447 ke under — imprisonment + fine. Regulatory investigations (SFIO, SEBI) trigger ho sakti hain in cases mein.

05

Investor aur Lender Trust

VC funding, private equity, IPO, bank loans — sab mein audited financials ki quality critical hai. Ek qualified opinion ya CARO 2020 adverse remarks se funding rounds delay ya cancel ho sakte hain. International clients aur partners bhi company's audited statements review karte hain.

Disclaimer of opinion: auditor sufficient audit evidence nahi collect kar paya ya independence compromised — opinion express karna impossible.

Auditor change: existing auditor pehle ADT-3 form se resignation file karta hai (30 days ke andar). New auditor: eligible CA/firm from shareholders. ADT-1 filing: new auditor ke appointment ke 15 din ke andar ROC ke saath. Rotation: listed aur specified public companies mein auditor rotation mandatory hai after 5/10 year tenure — 5 year cooling off period. Change resolution: shareholders EGM ya AGM mein pass hoti hai.

OPC (One Person Company) bhi statutory audit required hai — Companies Act Section 139 applicable hai. CARO 2020 OPC ko exempt karta hai.
