What is a statutory audit?
An audit is an independent chartered accountant's examination of your books and financial statements. Company audits are compulsory under the Companies Act, 2013; tax audits and LLP audits apply above set turnover or contribution limits.
How is the auditor appointed and changed?
The board appoints a new company's first auditor within 30 days of incorporation (section 139(6)). After that the members appoint the auditor at the annual general meeting for a term of five years (section 139(1)), and the company files Form ADT-1 within 15 days. Resignations are reported in ADT-3.
What do we check that clients often miss?
Since 1 April 2023 a company's accounting software must keep an audit trail (edit log) that cannot be disabled, and the auditor reports on it. We also test related-party transactions, stock records and statutory dues, because these are the commonest CARO qualifications.
If an auditor finds a fraud of ₹1 crore or more, section 143(12) requires a report to the Central Government in Form ADT-4; smaller frauds are reported to the audit committee or board.

Does a small private company need a statutory audit?
Yes. Every company needs an audit under the Companies Act, 2013, however small. Small companies are exempt from CARO 2020 reporting, not from the audit.
How long does an audit take?
For a small company with clean books, usually two to three weeks from the date we receive the trial balance and supporting records. Groups, stock-heavy businesses and first-year audits take longer.
