Audit & Assurance
Statutory audit, internal audit, due diligence, and risk advisory — delivered by Chartered Accountants who know exactly which threshold triggers a mandatory audit in your market, and which doesn't.
Most Businesses Don't Know If They Actually Need An Audit.
Audit requirements aren't universal, and assuming your home country's rules apply everywhere is a common, expensive mistake. Some businesses commission audits they don't legally need, burning budget on unnecessary compliance. Others skip audits they're legally required to have, triggered by thresholds they never checked. Both mistakes get discovered at the worst possible time — during a raise, a sale, or a regulator's inquiry.
The full scope of audit work, handled end to end.
Here's exactly what that looks like handled properly:
Built for businesses that need audit clarity, not audit guesswork.
Accounting & CPA firms
White-label audit and assurance support for your international clients, delivered under your own brand.
Businesses outside India
Direct audit, due diligence, and internal controls support for businesses operating in the US, UK, Australia, or UAE.
If you're well below every relevant size threshold in every market you operate in, and no investor, lender, or regulator is asking for audited accounts, a full statutory audit engagement may be more than you currently need — we'll tell you honestly on the first call.
Four Countries. Four Different Audit Triggers.
Whether you legally need an audit depends entirely on where you're incorporated and how big you've grown. Here's a sample of what we track, right now, across the four markets we serve.
Statutory Audit Threshold
A UK company is exempt from statutory audit only if it stays under two of three tests for two consecutive years: turnover up to £15 million, balance sheet up to £7.5 million, employees up to 50. Cross two, and audit becomes mandatory.
Trigger-Based System
The US has no blanket federal audit requirement for private companies. Audits are triggered by SEC registration, federal award expenditure over $1M, regulated-industry rules, or lender covenants — easy to miss if you're not checking.
ASIC Reporting
Audit and reporting obligations in Australia scale with company size and public-interest status, reviewed against ASIC's size tests and reporting entity rules.
UAE Audit Requirements
UAE audit obligations vary by free zone, mainland status, and licensing authority — many free zones mandate audited financials annually regardless of size.
A documented process, from scoping to sign-off.
Click a step to see how it works.
Free consultation
We learn your entity structure, jurisdiction, and whether an audit is actually required.
Scope & proposal
A clear engagement letter, timeline, and fieldwork plan.
Secure onboarding
NDA signed, access set up, prior audit history and controls reviewed.
Fieldwork & reporting
Testing performed, findings reported, sign-off delivered on schedule.
The advantage isn't that we can perform an audit. It's that we tell you honestly if you need one.
Plenty of firms will happily bill for an audit you don't legally need. What's harder to find is a team that checks the actual threshold in your actual jurisdiction first, and tells you plainly when a lighter review would do. That's the real difference between a vendor billing hours and a partner protecting your budget.
Pricing depends on scope, not guesswork.
Entity size
Turnover, balance sheet, and headcount.
Jurisdiction
Which market's rules and thresholds apply.
Complexity
Group structure, prior findings, and controls maturity.
There's no flat rate that fits a single-entity small business and a multi-country group the same way, so we don't pretend there is. Most engagements are scoped and quoted on the first call, not after weeks of back-and-forth.
Why not just hire an audit-only firm?
A fair question — here's how the trade-off actually looks.

What a proper threshold review looks like when a growing business assumes it needs an audit — and the real savings that come from checking first.
Fluent in the tools you already use.
What clients usually ask.
It depends on your jurisdiction, size, and structure — we check the actual thresholds that apply to you on the free consultation call, not just assume you need one.
Yes, though we'll need full access to your existing records and systems as part of onboarding.
It depends on entity size and complexity — timelines are agreed as part of the engagement proposal.
Yes, this is a common engagement, often on a tighter timeline than a standard annual audit.
We report it clearly and, where you're already a client on other practices, help fix it directly rather than just flagging it and walking away.
In some cases — internal audit and risk advisory can run alongside an external auditor of record.
One call to see if we're the right fit — no pitch, no pressure.
Tell us what you're dealing with — messy books, a firm outgrowing its bandwidth, a market you haven't worked in before. We'll tell you honestly whether Corptiva is the right partner for it.
