Compliance Audits – A Complete Guide

Our comprehensive compliance audit services help your organization identify gaps, ensure adherence to regulations, and strengthen governance frameworks—minimizing risk and enhancing confidence for NBFCs, corporates, and financial institutions.

Overview of Compliance Audits

Compliance audits are systematic reviews to verify that your organization follows applicable laws, regulations, internal policies, and industry standards. These audits help:

  • Identify non-compliance and operational weaknesses

  • Mitigate regulatory risks and potential penalties

  • Enhance internal controls and governance practices

  • Prepare for regulatory inspections and stakeholder assurance

Our auditors conduct tailored audits, focusing on sector-specific requirements—RBI guidelines for NBFCs, FEMA compliance, MCA filings, AML procedures, and more.

Our audit services provide independent assessment and assurance across financial, operational, and regulatory compliance areas for NBFCs, corporates, and financial institutions. We conduct comprehensive internal audits, statutory audits, compliance audits, and specialized reviews including risk-based internal audits (RBIA) mandated by RBI for larger NBFCs. Our experienced team evaluates internal controls, identifies operational gaps, ensures regulatory adherence, and provides actionable recommendations to strengthen governance and risk management frameworks. Whether it’s annual compliance audits, concurrent auditing, or forensic investigations, we deliver thorough, objective assessments that protect your organization and enhance stakeholder confidence.

Our structured audit methodology follows four key phases: Planning (scope definition, risk assessment, audit plan creation), Fieldwork (control testing, document review, staff interviews, data analysis), Reporting (findings documentation, management discussion, final report issuance), and Follow-up (implementation tracking, recommendation monitoring). We employ risk-based audit approaches, utilize advanced audit tools, and maintain quality assurance standards throughout. Our process ensures comprehensive coverage while minimizing business disruption.

Access comprehensive compliance checklists covering annual, monthly, and periodic requirements for NBFCs, including NBS returns, auditor certificates, director appointments, and regulatory filings. Our detailed audit reports include executive summaries, findings categorization by risk level, management responses, implementation timelines, and compliance status tracking. We provide ready-to-use templates and automated monitoring tools to maintain ongoing compliance visibility and control.
