Audit & Assurance — Numbers You Can Trust

A good audit is not just about checking if your numbers add up — it’s about giving everyone who relies on your financials the confidence that those numbers can be trusted. That includes your board, your investors, your bank, and yes, the taxman.

Why This Matters for Your Business

A good audit is not just about checking if your numbers add up — it’s about giving everyone who relies on your financials the confidence that those numbers can be trusted. That includes your board, your investors, your bank, and yes, the taxman.

CA Arihant Lodha has conducted audits across manufacturing, trading, services, NGOs, and housing societies for over 20 years. With DISA certification, our audits go beyond compliance — they surface the operational and financial risks your business may not even know it’s carrying.

What We Handle — End to End

Statutory Audit

Mandatory annual audit for companies under the Companies Act — done thoroughly, not just technically. Clean, ICAI-compliant audit reports delivered on time.

Tax Audit (Section 44AB)

For businesses and professionals hitting the turnover threshold — we handle the full tax audit and Form 3CA/3CB/3CD filing, well before the September 30 deadline.

 

Internal & Management Audit

Your internal processes can always be sharper. Our internal audits are designed to identify inefficiencies, control gaps, and compliance risks before they become expensive problems.

 

Risk-Based Audit

Identify, assess, and respond to your business’s most significant financial and operational risks — before they materialise. Particularly useful for growing businesses and multi-location entities.

 

Compliance Review

A structured check of your regulatory adherence — income tax, GST, companies act, labour laws. Know exactly where you stand before anyone else flags it.

 

Due Diligence (M&A / Investment)

Considering a merger, acquisition, or investment? Our due diligence gives you — or your investors — a complete, clear picture of what’s actually there before any money changes hands.

 

Society Audit (Housing Societies)

CA Arihant Lodha is empanelled as a Society Auditor for cooperative housing societies — bringing specialised knowledge of governance, compliance, and fund management in this sector.

 

Special Purpose Audit

Grant audits, bank audits, forensic audits, or audits for specific situations — we handle unusual audit requirements with the same rigour and independence.
