SERVICESpecial Purpose Audits

Focused Assurance for Targeted Business Objectives

Special Purpose Audits are designed to address unique and specific business or regulatory needs that go beyond the scope of a traditional statutory audit. These audits are often required by investors, lenders, regulators, or internal stakeholders for a precise purpose such as verifying subsidy utilization, certification needs, or compliance with specific contracts.

Special Purpose Audits

Unlike regular audits, the scope of Special Purpose Audits is predefined and often narrow, focusing on a specific area or transaction. It could be limited to revenue recognition from one project, inventory valuation, grants received, or regulatory compliance under a particular scheme. Our audit team ensures that the scope is well-aligned with the intended objective and delivers conclusive, relevant results.

Many government schemes, tenders, and corporate restructuring activities demand a Special Purpose Audit. For instance, audits under CSR compliance, forensic checks, or auditor certifications for mergers and demergers are standard. Our professionals have experience handling audits mandated under SEBI, RBI, MCA, or Income Tax departments.

Since these reports are often submitted to third parties banks, tax departments, courts, or funding agencies we ensure our audits meet professional standards, are fully defensible, and convey credibility. Our reports are thorough, easy to understand, and backed by verifiable documentation.

Special audits are often sensitive in nature, such as fraud-related checks or due diligence on related-party transactions. We conduct them with utmost confidentiality, while maintaining audit trail integrity and full transparency with the client.

These audits are not just about ticking a box they often help unlock funding, secure regulatory approvals, or improve operational controls. Whether it’s a subsidy utilization audit or internal control verification for IPO readiness, we tailor our audit methodology to ensure business goals are met with assurance.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Special Purpose Audit?

    A Special Purpose Audit is an audit conducted for a particular objective such as subsidy utilization, internal control review, or certification for regulatory compliance. It is not a full statutory audit, but is still conducted under auditing standards.

    Who typically requires a Special Purpose Audit?

    Stakeholders like banks, tax authorities, courts, regulators, or corporate management may require this audit to validate a specific financial area or compliance activity.

    How is it different from a Statutory Audit?

    While statutory audits cover the entire financial statements and are done annually, a Special Purpose Audit focuses only on a specific area, as agreed upon with the client or mandated by a third party.

    Can the report be used in legal or regulatory filings?

    Yes, these reports are often used in filings with SEBI, RBI, IT Department, or presented in court cases, so we ensure they are defensible and in line with applicable standards.

    We follow ICAI’s SA 800 (Special Purpose Frameworks) and SA 805 (Single Financial Statements or Specific Elements), as applicable.
