Audit & Assurance

Documentation you can defend. Findings you can act on.

An audit isn't a tick-and-bash exercise. Done right, it surfaces the things a business owner can't see — and produces documentation that holds up to any scrutiny that follows.

NGA's audit practice is partner-supervised end to end. We don't subcontract working papers. We don't sign off on findings we haven't verified. The result is an audit you can stand behind.

Statutory Audit

Full Companies Act audit with detailed working papers, compliance with auditing standards, and a CARO report that says what we actually found.

Tax Audit (Section 63)

Form 26 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 (the unified report replacing 3CA / 3CB & 3CD), with rigorous reconciliation between books, GST returns, TDS, and ITR.

Internal & Management Audit

Process reviews, control gaps, and operational findings — written in plain English so management can actually act.

Concurrent Audit (Banks)

Branch-level concurrent audits for empanelled banks, with documented adherence to RBI norms.

Stock & Asset Verification

Physical verification of inventory and fixed assets, reconciliation with books, and exception reporting.

Special Purpose Audits

GST audits, FEMA audits, project completion certificates, fund utilisation certificates.

Who this is for

If you need an audit, you need it done right.

Companies under Companies Act

Mandatory statutory audit — done with rigour, signed by a partner who has actually reviewed every working paper.

Businesses crossing the Section 63 tax-audit threshold

Tax audit isn't optional. We make sure books, GST, TDS and ITR all reconcile cleanly.

Boards seeking internal audit

If management wants to know what's actually happening inside operations — we'll find it and write it plainly.

Our Approach

What an NGA audit looks like.

Partner-reviewed working papers

Every audit working paper is reviewed by the engagement partner. Documentation is organised, indexed, and ready for any subsequent scrutiny.

Cross-functional reconciliation

Books, GST, TDS, ITR — all reconciled to each other. Surprises caught at audit, not at scrutiny.

Findings you can act on

We don't deliver findings to file away. We deliver them to fix — with practical next steps.

Common questions

Audit & Assurance — questions we're asked most.

When is a statutory audit mandatory for my company?

Every Private Limited and Public Limited company under the Companies Act 2013 is required to appoint an auditor and have accounts audited each year, regardless of turnover. LLPs must be audited if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or capital contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh.

What triggers a tax audit under Section 44AB?

Tax audit applies if business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore (₹10 crore where at least 95% of receipts and payments are non-cash), or professional gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh, in a financial year. Persons opting out of presumptive taxation may also be liable.

What is the difference between statutory audit and internal audit?

Statutory audit is a legally mandated external audit resulting in an opinion on the financial statements, filed with regulators. Internal audit is a management-commissioned review of controls, processes and risk, producing findings for the board to act on. The two serve different purposes and are typically performed by different firms.

How long does a statutory audit typically take?

For a small-to-mid company with clean books, statutory audit typically runs 3-6 weeks from planning to sign-off. Companies with multiple locations, complex transactions or reconciliation gaps take longer. Early engagement and interim audit planning shorten the year-end run.

What documents do I need to prepare for an audit?

Trial balance and finalised books, bank statements with reconciliation, GST and TDS returns, contracts and invoices for major transactions, fixed asset register with depreciation, minutes of board meetings, statutory registers, prior-year audit report and any regulator correspondence.
