Audit and peer review do not need to feel uncertain or rushed. Our role is to plan thoroughly, communicate clearly, and execute with diligence — so you always know exactly where you stand and what happens next.
We believe the best audit is one where the client is never surprised. That is why we invest heavily in pre-engagement preparation, documentation review, and gap assessment before any formal review begins.

Answers to the most common questions about ICAI Peer Review, Statutory Audit, Concurrent Audit, IND AS implementation, and related professional services.
ICAI Peer Review is a quality review process conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to ensure that CA firms maintain required professional standards in their practice. It evaluates the firm's quality control system, engagement documentation, and adherence to professional standards and ethics.
Peer Review is mandatory for firms conducting statutory audits of listed companies, banks, insurance companies, and entities exceeding prescribed turnover thresholds. The ICAI Peer Review Board continues to expand mandatory applicability, making Peer Review readiness essential for all serious CA practices.
Key documents required for a Peer Review include:
PKJN & Associates LLP helps firms prepare, organise, and review all required documentation before the formal Peer Review commences.
For a small to medium-sized CA firm, the on-site review typically takes 2–5 working days, plus preparation time. The complete cycle — from ICAI's appointment of the Peer Reviewer to issuance of the Peer Review Certificate — generally takes 4–8 weeks. Larger multi-partner firms or firms with complex audit portfolios may require more time.
Our pre-review preparation support at PKJN & Associates LLP significantly reduces on-site review duration and minimises follow-up queries, helping firms complete the process efficiently.
Statutory Audit is a legally mandated independent examination of a company's financial statements conducted by an external CA firm. Its primary objective is to verify that the financial statements present a true and fair view under applicable laws — Companies Act, Banking Regulation Act, SEBI regulations, etc.
Internal Audit is a systematic, independent evaluation of internal controls, risk management processes, and operational efficiency. It can be conducted by an internal function or outsourced to a firm like PKJN. Internal Audit is mandatory under the Companies Act for certain categories of companies and voluntarily adopted by others for improved governance and oversight.
Concurrent Audit is a real-time or near-real-time examination of financial transactions as they occur — unlike periodic audits that review transactions after the accounting period has closed. It provides immediate feedback on transactions, enables early detection of irregularities, and strengthens branch-level internal controls.
Concurrent Audit is primarily mandatory for banks and NBFCs as per RBI and other regulatory guidelines. Banks are required to conduct Concurrent Audits at branches above prescribed business volume thresholds. PKJN & Associates LLP provides dedicated, experienced Concurrent Audit teams for banking and financial sector clients.
Companies mandatorily required to follow IND AS include:
Once a company crosses the threshold, it must continue with IND AS even if it subsequently falls below in later years. PKJN & Associates LLP provides complete IND AS transition planning, gap analysis, restatement support, and disclosure assistance.
Tax Audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act is mandatory when:
The Tax Audit report (Form 3CA/3CB with Annexure 3CD) must be filed by a Chartered Accountant before the applicable due date. Late or non-filing attracts penalties under Section 271B.
A Risk Control Matrix (RCM) is a structured document that maps identified business risks to specific internal controls designed to mitigate them. A well-built RCM includes: risk descriptions, inherent risk ratings, control objectives, control descriptions, control owners, control frequency, and testing procedures.
RCMs are critical for internal audit planning, SOX compliance, audit committee reporting, and enterprise risk management. They help organisations understand risk exposure at a granular level and ensure adequate controls are documented and operating effectively. PKJN & Associates LLP develops, reviews, and updates RCMs for clients in manufacturing, BFSI, services, and technology sectors.
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) are global accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted in over 140 countries for transparent, comparable financial reporting across jurisdictions.
IND AS is India's version of IFRS, notified by MCA with specific carve-outs and modifications for the Indian regulatory environment. Key differences exist in: treatment of certain financial instruments, lease accounting nuances, business combination accounting, regulatory deferral accounts, and specific disclosure requirements. Companies with foreign subsidiaries, JV partners, or foreign parent entities requiring global reporting may need full IFRS compliance in addition to IND AS. We assist with both implementations.
PKJN & Associates LLP brings a distinctive combination of experience, structure, and professional integrity to every Peer Review engagement:
Whether you need an ICAI Peer Review, Statutory Audit, Concurrent Audit, IND AS implementation, or Risk Advisory support — our team at PKJN & Associates LLP is ready to help with a structured, professional, and time-bound engagement.
