1. Fixed Asset Audits
Fixed assets are a critical part of any business, representing
significant investment and value. Our Fixed Asset Audit services help ensure
that all assets are properly accounted for, valued accurately, and protected
from mismanagement or fraud. Our services include:
- Asset
Verification – We conduct physical verification of all
fixed assets, ensuring that they are accurately recorded in the books and
are still in use. This helps eliminate discrepancies between physical
assets and the financial records.
- Asset
Register Maintenance – Assistance in maintaining an
up-to-date asset register, which includes details like asset type,
location, condition, depreciation, and useful life.
- Depreciation
& Amortization Calculation – We ensure that
depreciation is calculated correctly in accordance with the applicable
accounting standards (such as IND-AS, IFRS, or US GAAP), ensuring accurate
asset valuation and profit reporting.
- Asset
Identification & Tagging – We help implement asset
tagging systems to ensure all fixed assets are easily identifiable,
improving asset tracking and reducing the risk of theft or misplacement.
- Disposal
& Write-Offs – Guidance on proper disposal or write-off
procedures for obsolete or non-functioning assets, ensuring compliance
with accounting standards and tax regulations.
- Impairment
Testing – We assist in performing impairment testing
to ensure that the carrying value of assets does not exceed their
recoverable amount, as per the relevant accounting standards.
- Physical
Count & Reconciliation – Conducting a detailed
physical count of fixed assets, followed by reconciliation with accounting
records to ensure accuracy.
2. Stock Audits
Effective stock management is vital to the success of any
business. Our Stock Audit services help businesses maintain accurate and
up-to-date inventory records, which are essential for financial reporting, cost
control, and operational efficiency. We provide:
- Inventory
Verification – We conduct a thorough physical count of
your inventory to verify the quantities and condition of stock items. This
helps identify any discrepancies or losses due to theft, damage, or
mismanagement.
- Stock
Valuation – We ensure that your stock is valued
accurately, whether under the cost method, net realizable value, or other
valuation techniques required by accounting standards. Our team ensures
compliance with inventory valuation principles under IND-AS, IFRS, or
other applicable frameworks.
- Stock
Turnover Analysis – We assess the efficiency of your
inventory management, including the rate of stock turnover, to identify
opportunities for improvement and reduce carrying costs.
- Inventory
Classification & Segmentation – We assist in classifying
and segmenting inventory based on various criteria such as age, demand,
and obsolescence, helping businesses make informed decisions regarding
stock management and sales.
- Cost
of Goods Sold (COGS) Calculation – We help calculate the
cost of goods sold (COGS) by accurately linking inventory movements
(purchases, sales, write-offs) to your accounting records, ensuring
correct profit and loss reporting.
- Reconciliation
of Stock Registers – Our team verifies and reconciles
stock records with actual physical counts, ensuring that there are no
discrepancies between your stock registers and actual inventory.
- Cycle
Counts & Stock Auditing Plans – We recommend and
implement cycle counting and other inventory auditing techniques to keep
track of stock levels throughout the year, reducing the need for
large-scale year-end stock audits.
3. Physical Verification & Documentation
For both fixed assets and stock, maintaining proper
documentation is essential for audit purposes, tax reporting, and regulatory
compliance. We assist with:
- Documenting
Asset and Inventory Movement – Keeping detailed records
of asset acquisitions, transfers, disposals, and movements, ensuring that
your physical inventory is accurately reflected in your accounting system.
- Audit
Trail Creation – Ensuring that every movement of fixed
assets or stock is properly documented, with a clear audit trail for
transparency and accountability.
- Compliance
with Regulations – Our audits ensure that your asset and
inventory management practices comply with local, state, and international
regulations, including tax laws and industry-specific requirements.
4. Risk Assessment & Internal Controls
Our Fixed Asset and Stock Audits also focus on identifying
operational risks and weaknesses in internal controls that could lead to
discrepancies, fraud, or inefficiencies. We provide:
- Internal
Controls Evaluation – We assess the effectiveness of your
internal controls related to asset and inventory management, identifying
areas where controls may need strengthening.
- Fraud
Detection & Prevention – We identify potential
areas for fraud, including overstatement of asset values or mismanagement
of stock, and provide recommendations for improving fraud prevention
measures.

Efficiency Reviews – We evaluate your asset and stock
management processes, identifying inefficiencies and recommending
improvements to streamline operations and reduce costs.
- Regulatory
Compliance & Best Practices – Our audit services ensure
that your asset and inventory management practices follow industry best
practices and comply with all relevant regulations and accounting
standards.

Following the audit, we provide detailed reports outlining our
findings and actionable recommendations to help businesses improve asset and
inventory management. These reports include:

discrepancies, inefficiencies, or compliance issues related to fixed
assets and inventory.
