7. What Our Clients Say

"Our PE fund needed due diligence on a target company in Powai. Virtual Auditor's CFE + CA dual lens caught ₹1.8 crore in undisclosed related party transactions that the target's auditor had missed. The deal was restructured with appropriate indemnities — saving our fund from a bad investment."

— VP, PE Fund, BKC

"Transfer pricing adjustment of ₹4.2 crore by the TPO — Virtual Auditor challenged the benchmarking methodology, presented revised comparable analysis at DRP, and got the adjustment reduced to ₹38 lakh. The ROI on their fee was 40x."

"Company registration with FDI-ready articles, FEMA valuation, FC-GPR filing, and ongoing CS retainer — all from one firm. When our Series A investor's lawyer did DD, the compliance was spotless. Zero findings. That's what you're paying for."

13. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does Navi Mumbai fall under ROC Mumbai?
Yes — Navi Mumbai is under ROC Mumbai jurisdiction. All filings are processed at the same office as Mumbai proper. The upcoming Navi Mumbai airport will further boost commercial activity.
Q2: Can you handle GST for import-export businesses near JNPT?
Yes — Navi Mumbai's proximity to JNPT port makes it a hub for import-export businesses. Virtual Auditor handles customs-GST integration, IGST on imports, and export refunds.
Q3: What audit services do you provide for Navi Mumbai companies?
Statutory audit, tax audit, and internal audit for companies across Navi Mumbai — Vashi, Airoli, Belapur, and Kharghar.
Q4: Do you provide forensic accounting services in Navi Mumbai, Mumbai?
Yes — Virtual Auditor provides CFE-led forensic accounting and fraud investigation services across Mumbai including Navi Mumbai. Led by CA V. Viswanathan (FCA + CFE, ACFE USA). Services: fraud investigation, whistleblower investigation, vendor billing fraud detection, and prevention advisory.
Q5: How much does a forensic investigation cost?
Targeted investigation (specific allegation): ₹1,50,000-₹5,00,000. Comprehensive investigation (procurement/payroll fraud): ₹3,00,000-₹10,00,000. Annual forensic review: ₹1,00,000-₹3,00,000/year. The average fraud recovery in our investigations is ₹15-40 lakh — providing 3-10x ROI on investigation cost.
Q6: What is a CFE and why does it matter?
CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) is a credential from ACFE USA — the world's largest anti-fraud organization. CFE training covers fraud examination methodology, investigation techniques, interviewing, legal elements of fraud, and prevention. A CFE-led investigation follows ACFE methodology producing court-ready evidence — unlike an informal internal review.
Q7: Should I confront the suspected employee before investigating?
NO — this is the most common and most damaging mistake. Confrontation before evidence collection alerts the fraudster to destroy evidence, coordinate with accomplices, or resign. Preserve evidence first, investigate systematically, and interview the suspect LAST — after all documentary evidence is secured.
Q8: What legal remedies are available after a forensic investigation?
Criminal FIR (Section 420/406 BNS), Companies Act Section 447 (fraud), civil recovery suit with property attachment, termination with domestic inquiry, and crime/fidelity insurance claim. The forensic investigation report is the foundation for ALL these remedies.
Q9: Can employee fraud create GST or income tax problems for my company?
Yes — fictitious invoices create bogus GST ITC exposure (Section 74). Cash skimming causes income tax underreporting. Ghost employees create TDS defaults. Virtual Auditor's investigation reports quantify both the fraud loss and the regulatory exposure.
Q10: What preventive services do you offer?
Fraud risk assessment, internal control design (segregation of duties, authorization limits, vendor verification), whistleblower mechanism setup, and annual forensic review. These controls reduce fraud losses by 50% per ACFE data. Cost: ₹2-5 lakh/year vs ₹15-40 lakh average fraud loss.
Q11: I suspect fraud. How can the issue be assessed confidentially and evidence preserved?
Keep the circle small: involve only the people who must know, and bring in legal counsel early. Do not confront the suspected person before evidence is secure. Preserve evidence first: take copies of the accounting system and emails, keep devices and logs, and record a chain of custody, so the evidence can be relied on later. A Certified Fraud Examiner then scopes the allegation, tests transactions with data analysis and document review, interviews in the right order, and reports facts, not conclusions of guilt. Statutory duties may apply, such as the auditor’s duty to report fraud under section 143(12) of the Companies Act. We start with a confidential scoping discussion and an engagement letter that sets the access we need.
