- Statutory Audit under Companies Act
A statutory audit is a legally mandated audit conducted to ensure that a company’s financial statements present a true and fair view of its financial position. It is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and applies to all companies registered under the Act. At VPS & Associates, Hyderabad, we offer expert statutory audit services to help businesses comply with legal requirements, enhance financial credibility, and maintain transparency in their operations.
A statutory audit involves an in-depth review of a company’s books of accounts, financial statements, and compliance with regulatory provisions. It is carried out by an independent auditor who examines whether the financial reports comply with the applicable accounting standards and legal provisions.
Who Needs a Statutory Audit?
As per Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013, every company (except certain small private companies) must appoint a statutory auditor to conduct an annual audit of its financial statements. The following types of businesses require a statutory audit:
- Private Limited Companies and Public Limited Companies
- One Person Companies (OPCs)
- Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) (if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh)
- Foreign Companies with a presence in India

Additionally, startups and businesses availing tax benefits or government incentives may be required to undergo statutory audits.
