Audit Support Services
Audit schedule preparation, reconciliations, and auditor liaison — taking the audit-cycle workload off your finance team's plate, whether your statutory auditor is a local firm or a global network auditing on behalf of your parent.
Audit-readiness, owned by us — not your finance team's spare time.
Statutory audits — whether by your own appointed auditor in India, or by a global audit firm engaged by your overseas parent — generate a substantial volume of schedules, reconciliations and supporting documentation. For lean finance teams, particularly at India subsidiaries and GCCs, preparing this material alongside day-to-day operations is a recurring source of pressure each audit cycle.
Our Audit Support Services practice takes on this preparation work directly — building audit schedules, performing reconciliations, and acting as the liaison point with your statutory auditors, so your internal team isn't pulled away from running the business.
- India subsidiaries audited by Big 4 or mid-tier firms on behalf of a global group
- GCCs preparing for combined statutory and SOC audit cycles
- Companies whose finance teams lack bandwidth for audit-cycle work
- Businesses going through their first statutory audit after a funding round
The schedules your auditor will ask for, ready before they ask.
We prepare the full set of audit schedules typically requested during a statutory audit — fixed asset registers, ageing analyses, related party transaction summaries, provisions workings, and the supporting reconciliations behind each financial statement line item.
- Trial balance to financial statement mapping and lead schedules
- Fixed asset register maintenance and depreciation workings
- Accounts receivable / payable ageing and confirmation support
- Related party transaction schedules and disclosures
- Provisions, accruals and contingent liability workings
- Statutory dues reconciliation (TDS, GST, PF, ESI)
A single point of contact for your audit team.
During the audit itself, we act as the primary point of contact for queries from your statutory auditors — fielding requests, coordinating responses from different parts of the business, and tracking open items through to closure, so the audit timeline stays on track without consuming your management team's time.
- Coordination of audit query log and response tracking
- Liaison with Big 4 and mid-tier statutory auditors
- Support for group audit instructions where the India entity is a component of a larger group audit
- Year-end closing support to meet group reporting deadlines
