A particular strength

Trusts, societies and Section 8 companies

The firm has substantial experience in the audit and compliance of charitable and non-profit entities, an area in which the rules are exacting and the consequences of a lapse can be significant.

Our services in this area cover maintenance and review of books of account, audit under the applicable law, filing of the return of income of the institution, the prescribed audit report, registration under section 332 and approval under section 354 (formerly 12AB and 80G), FCRA registration and return filing, and advisory on the rules applicable to charitable institutions.

Our people

The partners are supported by a team of senior and junior professional staff. Assignments are ordinarily staffed so that continuity of knowledge is retained on the file.

  • Direct tax computation, filing and representation
  • GST returns, reconciliation and departmental replies
  • Audit execution under the Standards on Auditing
  • ROC and LLP filings on the MCA portal
  • FCRA and charitable institution compliance
Professional approach

How an assignment is run

The same five steps, whether the assignment is a bank branch audit or a reply to a reassessment notice.

1. Understand first

Understanding the client, the legal framework and the objective of the assignment before commencement.

2. Scope and plan

Preparing a clear scope of work, an assignment plan and a documentation checklist.

3. Document the work

Maintaining adequate working papers, reconciliations and evidence-based observations.

4. Communicate early

Timely communication of material issues noticed during the course of the assignment.

5. Report clearly

Professional, clear and concise reports suitable for management, statutory authorities and other stakeholders.

Throughout — partner-led

Material opinions, submissions and reports are subject to partner-level review.

Common questions

Before you engage us

Yes. Income tax assessments and first appeals are largely faceless, and GST and ROC filings are online, so a great deal of work is handled irrespective of where the client is located. For matters requiring physical appearance outside Hyderabad, we coordinate with local counsel.
Yes. Where the assignment is an audit, we are required by the Chartered Accountants Act and the Council’s ethical standards to communicate with the previous auditor before accepting it. For other assignments, we will follow applicable professional requirements and arrange an appropriate handover.

At first contact please send only a summary of the position. The existing record, the notices and the replies filed can follow once we have completed our conflict check and confirmed that we are able to accept the matter.
At the first contact, please send only a short summary: the authority that issued the notice, the provision under which it was issued, the year or period it relates to, and the date by which a response is due. That is enough for us to assess the position and to carry out the conflict check that we are required to perform before accepting any assignment. The complete record — the notice with its annexures, the return, the computation and the financial statements — should be sent afterwards, through the channel we agree with you.
Fees depend on the nature and complexity of the assignment and are agreed in writing before work commences. We do not publish a fee schedule; please write to us with the particulars and we will revert with a proposal.

Have a notice, an assessment or a compliance question?

Send a brief description of the matter and any deadline. We will assess whether we are able to accept it, and discuss the information and scope required.
