Assurance & Audit
Statutory audit, internal audit, Internal Financial Controls testing, forensic audit and SOC readiness — delivered with the methodology of a Big 4 background, applied to the realities of mid-market and subsidiary engagements.
The statutory foundation, delivered with the rigour of a Big 4 background.
Statutory audit is the starting point of every company's compliance calendar — and the one piece of work where quality, timeliness and independence are non-negotiable. Our Assurance & Audit practice is led by partners with direct Big 4 training (including 7 years in PwC's Assurance practice), bringing institutional audit methodology to the mid-market engagements that make up the bulk of our client base.
Beyond the annual statutory audit, the practice covers the full spectrum of assurance work that growing companies need — internal audit, Internal Financial Controls testing, and specialist audits required by regulators, lenders or overseas customers.
- Statutory audit under the Companies Act
- Internal audit and process risk reviews
- Internal Financial Controls (IFC) design and testing
- Forensic audit and fraud investigation
- Concurrent audit for entities with regulatory cycles
- SOC 1 / SOC 2 readiness for GCCs and service entities
Independent audit, delivered on time, every time.

Process risk and control testing — proactive, not reactive.
Internal audit and Internal Financial Controls testing are increasingly expected by boards, lenders and overseas parents — not just as a compliance checkbox, but as a genuine signal of operational discipline. Our risk advisory team, led by a partner who is the firm's National Head of Risk Assessment and Consulting, designs and executes internal audit programmes tailored to each client's process landscape.
- Risk-based internal audit planning and execution
- Internal Financial Controls (IFC) framework design, documentation and testing
- Process automation reviews and efficiency recommendations
- Management audits and operational reviews
- System audits for IT-dependent control environments

- Forensic audit and fraud investigation support
- Concurrent audit for NBFCs and regulated entities
- SOC 1 / SOC 2 audit readiness for GCCs and SaaS/services businesses
