Why Virtual Auditor?

4 credentials, 1 firm: FCA (financial expertise) + ACS (corporate governance) + CFE (forensic rigour) + IBBI RV (statutory valuation authority). This combination is rare in India and creates a multi-regulatory intersection that compliance aggregators cannot replicate.

AI-powered, not AI-dependent: Our proprietary tools — 18-method valuation engine, Monte Carlo simulator, anomaly detection algorithms — amplify expert judgment. Technology serves the professional; the professional does not serve the template.

3-city physical presence: Chennai (HQ at Spencer Plaza), Bangalore (MG Road), Mumbai (Goregaon West). We are not a virtual-only firm. Physical presence means in-person consultations, local RoC coordination, and regulatory office proximity.

Post-engagement continuity: Unlike aggregators who register your company and disappear, we provide ongoing compliance support — annual filings, statutory audit, tax planning, and when you raise funding, FEMA/FDI compliance and share valuation by the same team that incorporated you. Registration is day one; we walk the full journey.

Share Valuation — Equity vs Preference vs Complex

Type | Primary Method | Key Consideration |

Equity shares (listed) | Market price (VWAP) | Use 26-week or 2-week VWAP as applicable |

Equity shares (unlisted) | DCF or NAV per Rule 11UA | Must use RBI/FEMA floor for FDI |

CCPS / OCPS | OPM or PWERM | Conversion rights, liquidation preference |

iSAFE / SAFE | Scenario-weighted | Discount rate, valuation cap, trigger events |

People Also Ask

How many methods should a valuation use?

Best practice is 3-5 methods with cross-validation. Virtual Auditor deploys up to 18 methods simultaneously and uses Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 iterations) to produce a probability distribution rather than a single point estimate.

Is a Registered Valuer mandatory for all valuations?

IBBI Registered Valuer is mandatory for Companies Act (Section 247) and IBC (Regulation 35) valuations. For FEMA and Income Tax, a CA in practice is sufficient, but using a Registered Valuer provides a higher standard.
