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.
Which audits does a business in Kodungaiyur need?
Every company, whatever its size, must have its financial statements audited (sections 139 and 143 of the Companies Act, 2013). Most companies also need a CARO 2020 report; small companies, one person companies and private companies within the CARO exemption limits do not.
A tax audit is required when business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore, or ₹10 crore where cash receipts and cash payments are each within 5% of the total, and when a profession's gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh. Under the Income-tax Act, 2025 the requirement sits in section 63 (formerly section 44AB of the 1961 Act).
An LLP must be audited when its turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or its partners' contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh in a financial year.
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.
