Internal Audit
Internal audit is not a box to tick. Done well, it shows you where money leaks, where controls are weak, and where a future statutory audit or investor review will hurt. We scope it to your real risks and report findings you can act on.

Overview
What an internal audit actually does
It is an independent check of your processes, controls, and books — separate from the statutory audit.
Certain classes of companies must appoint an internal auditor under Section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Even where it is not mandatory, lenders, investors, and boards often ask for one.
The output is a findings report with risk ratings — not just a compliance certificate.
It covers financial controls, but also operations, procurement, payroll, and IT access if you want it to.
Benefits
Why companies get this done through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Findings you can actually use
No 200-page dumps. Each finding comes with what went wrong, why it matters, and what to fix first.
Scoped to your risks
A fintech's audit looks nothing like a manufacturer's. We build the scope around where your business can actually bleed.
Board-ready reporting
Reports are written so a non-finance director understands the risk in one reading.
Follow-up, not just findings
We track agreed actions and check closure — because an audit nobody follows up on is just paper.
Works alongside your statutory auditor
Clean internal audit documentation makes the statutory audit faster and cheaper. Auditors notice.
Documents
What documents do you need for Internal Audit?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Internal Audit process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 7
Understanding your business
We start by mapping how your business actually runs — processes, people, systems, and where money moves. This typically takes 1-2 weeks.
Risk assessment
We identify where things can go wrong: fraud risk, revenue leakage, weak approvals, compliance gaps. The audit focuses here, not on ticking boxes across everything.
Audit plan approval
You (or your audit committee) approve the plan: scope, areas covered, and timeline. Under Section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013, companies above the prescribed thresholds must appoint an internal auditor — the plan is built to meet that requirement.
Fieldwork and testing
Our team tests controls and samples transactions — approvals, reconciliations, asset verification, payroll checks. We work around your team, not against them. Fieldwork typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on scope.
Draft findings discussion
Before anything is finalized, we discuss the findings with your management. This avoids surprises — you get to explain context, and we separate genuine issues from one-off exceptions.
Final audit report
You receive a report with clear findings, each rated by risk, plus practical recommendations. No jargon, no 200-page document nobody reads.
Follow-up on action items
We track whether the agreed fixes actually happened — typically in the next quarter. An internal audit that nobody follows up on is money wasted.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Listed companies and certain larger unlisted companies must appoint one under Section 138 of the Companies Act. The thresholds are set in the rules and change from time to time — share your turnover and capital details and we will confirm whether you fall in scope.
A statutory audit gives an opinion on your financial statements for shareholders and regulators. An internal audit digs into your processes and controls for management — it finds problems earlier, when they are cheaper to fix.
A focused scope typically takes 2–4 weeks of fieldwork; a full annual programme runs through the year in quarterly visits. It depends on your size and how many processes are in scope.
Some coordination is unavoidable — we need walkthroughs and sample documents. But we schedule around your month-end and peak periods, and most testing happens off your team's desk.
No. The statutory auditor cannot be the internal auditor of the same company — independence rules forbid it. We are happy to work alongside your existing statutory auditor.
It depends on scope, locations, and frequency. Request a quote with a brief description of your business and we will scope it properly before quoting.
Yes, if you include it in scope. We review user access, maker-checker controls, and basic data security practices — the areas where most mid-size companies have gaps.
You get an action tracker with owners and deadlines. We follow up in the next cycle to verify closure, so findings don't quietly die in a drawer.
Nothing matches that search. Try a shorter word, or choose “All questions”.
