Signs your business needs financial audit and course correction

Six signs

  1. Books don't reconcile cleanly quarter-on-quarter — and nobody can point to why.
  2. GST input credit keeps getting missed or reversed.
  3. Vendor payments look higher than they should, and rate-card discipline has slipped.
  4. Your MIS pack looks right on paper but doesn't match the cash reality.
  5. You're preparing for a lender, investor or acquirer conversation in the next 3–6 months.
  6. You've had a leadership transition — new CFO, new promoter, next-generation entry.

What the engagement covers

Not a statutory audit. An operational and strategic review — accounting records, closing routines, order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, internal controls, compliance health, MIS design and risk register — followed by a prioritised course-correction roadmap with 30/90/180-day horizons.
