Is a statutory audit mandatory for my company?

Short answerYes — a statutory audit is mandatory for every company registered under the Companies Act (Private Limited, Public, or OPC), regardless of turnover or whether it’s trading. The accounts must be audited by a Chartered Accountant each financial year.

All companies, every year

Incorporation itself triggers the requirement — there’s no turnover threshold for a company’s statutory audit.

Even with no activity

A dormant or zero-turnover company still needs the audit and the annual ROC filing.
