Visakhapatnam hosts one of India's major ports, the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, an HPCL refinery, shipbuilding and the Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City at Parawada.
Suppliers to the port, steel plant and refinery work on large contracts and long payment cycles, so receivables, retention and freight accruals draw attention. Pharma units at Parawada need batch and expiry checks, and seafood exporters need forex receipts and export incentive items reconciled with the books.
We run Visakhapatnam audits remotely from our Goregaon West office. Documents go into a shared folder, queries are logged in one sheet and replies are tracked, so nothing depends on being in the same room. If the plan needs a visit for counts or verification, we schedule it with you ahead of time.

in View LinkedIn profileYes. We match export invoices to forex receipts, test stock and cut-off, and review incentive and duty-related items. You will need shipping documents, bank realisation records and GST export returns.
Companies registered in Andhra Pradesh file with the Registrar of Companies, Andhra Pradesh. We confirm the filing path when scoping.
Yes. Most of the audit is carried out online and calls cover discussions. Physical verification is planned only when needed.
A statutory audit is required by the Companies Act (or the LLP Act) and ends with an opinion on whether the financial statements give a true and fair view. A tax audit under section 44AB of the Income-tax Act checks your books against tax law and is reported in Form 3CA/3CB with Form 3CD. An internal audit is a review of controls and processes during the year, and it is mandatory only for the classes of companies listed in Rule 13 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
Yes. Every company must appoint an auditor and get its accounts audited every year, whatever its turnover and even if it has little or no activity. Small company status relaxes some reporting requirements, not the audit itself. A new company's board must appoint its first auditor within 30 days of incorporation.
A business needs a tax audit if turnover is above Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 crore where cash receipts and cash payments are each 5% or less), a professional if gross receipts are above Rs 50 lakh, and certain presumptive-scheme cases also trigger it. For AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26), CBDT's press release of 28 September 2026 moved the audit report date from 30 September to 21 October 2026 and the return date for covered audit cases from 31 October to 21 November 2026. Transfer pricing cases follow separate dates, so confirm which group you fall in.
It is mandatory for every listed company. An unlisted public company needs one if paid-up capital is Rs 50 crore or more, turnover is Rs 200 crore or more, bank or financial-institution borrowings exceed Rs 100 crore, or deposits are Rs 25 crore or more. A private company needs one if turnover is Rs 200 crore or more or borrowings from banks and financial institutions exceed Rs 100 crore, tested on the preceding financial year. Smaller businesses can adopt it voluntarily, and some lenders and investors ask for it.
No. Section 144 of the Companies Act bars a company's auditor from providing certain services to that company, including accounting and book-keeping, internal audit and design of financial information systems. We tell you this upfront so you do not end up with a conflict that a regulator or lender can challenge. If you need one of those services, we can arrange it through a separate engagement for a company we do not audit.
