About Cost Audit
Certain regulated and manufacturing sectors above prescribed turnover thresholds must maintain cost records and get them audited separately from the financial audit. We assess applicability and coordinate the cost audit and CRA-3 filing.
Recurring compliance work is scheduled against a calendar we maintain for you, with documents requested well before each due date.
What you get
- Confirms applicability under the Cost Audit Rules
- Filed alongside the CRA-3 form
- Reduces risk of non-compliance penalty
Documents required
- Cost records maintained for the financial year
- Production and sales data
- Previous cost audit report, if any
Exact requirements vary by state and entity. We confirm the final list on the first call.
