Independent Financial Audits Driven by Accuracy and Statutory Precision

Under the Companies Act, 2013, every registered company in India, regardless of its turnover or paid-up capital, is legally mandated to undergo a Statutory Audit. This annual examination ensures that financial statements present a true and fair view of the company’s financial health, preventing material misstatements and corporate fraud.

Our audit methodologies align directly with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by the ICAI. We meticulously examine your ledgers, bank reconciliations, fixed asset registers, and statutory dues (TDS, PF, ESI, GST) to guarantee that your balance sheet, profit & loss account, and cash flow statements are flawless.

Partnering with AVC India secures your board of directors and shareholders against regulatory penal actions. We deliver the final Independent Auditor’s Report, CARO reporting, and IFC certification well ahead of your Annual General Meeting (AGM) and ROC filing deadlines.

Initial Consultation

We begin with a no-cost consultation to understand your income profile, previous filing history, and any specific concerns such as pending notices, undisclosed income, or major financial transactions in the year. This takes 15–30 minutes and can be done over phone, video call, or WhatsApp.

02

Income Computation & AIS/Form 26AS Reconciliation
