What is a Statutory Audit?

A Statutory Audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial statements as mandated under applicable laws and regulations, including the Companies Act, 2013 and related rules. The primary objective of a statutory audit is to determine whether the financial statements present a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity.

The audit process involves a detailed review of accounting records, internal controls, financial transactions, and disclosures to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance with statutory requirements.

While both audits contribute to stronger governance, their objectives and scope differ:

Statutory Audit is conducted by an independent auditor appointed by shareholders or as prescribed by law to provide assurance on financial statements.

Internal Audit is conducted based on management requirements to evaluate internal controls, risk management practices, and operational efficiency.

At Kushal M Shah & Co., we deliver statutory audits that not only meet legal obligations but also provide valuable insights to strengthen financial reporting and business processes.

Our risk-based audit approach is designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial statements are free from material misstatements. Our audit process typically includes:

• Understanding the business and its operating environment
• Evaluation of business processes and cycles
• Assessment of internal control systems
• Risk identification and risk assessment
• Analytical review procedures
• Substantive audit testing
• Verification of financial records and disclosures
• Finalization and issuance of audit reports

This structured methodology enables us to identify key risk areas and focus our audit procedures effectively.
