NGO Statuary Audit - Introduction

A Statutory Audit is a mandatory annual financial review conducted to ensure your NGO’s accounts are accurate, compliant with applicable laws, and transparent to donors, regulators, and stakeholders. It is a legal requirement under the Income Tax Act, Companies Act, or State Trust/Society Acts, depending on the structure of your NGO.

At NGOedge, we offer end-to-end Statutory Audit Services tailored specifically for Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies, ensuring timely compliance and audit-ready financials to build long-term sustainability and trust.

Why Statutory Audit is Crucial for NGOs

✅ Legal Requirement
Mandatory for all registered NGOs based on their legal structure and income thresholds. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and disqualification from funding.

✅ Filing of Income Tax Returns
Audited financials are essential for filing annual ITR and claiming exemptions under Section 12A and 80G.

✅ Donor & CSR Compliance
Audited reports are often required by CSR partners, government departments, and institutional donors for transparency and fund tracking.

✅ FCRA Compliance
For NGOs registered under FCRA, audited financials are compulsory for filing Form FC-4 and renewing FCRA registration.

✅ Enhances Credibility & Governance
Shows that the NGO maintains high standards of financial discipline, making it more trustworthy to funders and stakeholders.
