Where we can help

Local information, organised for the group timetable.

Each engagement is scoped around the reporting instructions, applicable accounting framework, local responsibilities and the work expected by the UK group or its auditor. The aim is timely, traceable information—not another layer of administration.

01

Reporting-pack planning

Translate the group timetable and reporting instructions into a practical India workplan, deliverable list and query tracker.

02

Component reporting support

Prepare or review structured financial information and supporting schedules for the UK parent’s consolidation process.

03

Local-to-group reconciliations

Identify and explain adjustments between Indian statutory records and the reporting basis specified by the group.

04

Auditor coordination

Maintain clear, timely communication with the UK group-audit team on agreed instructions, evidence requests and open matters.

05

Inventory observation reporting

Support physical inventory attendance and reporting in a format that addresses the agreed needs of the group-audit team.

06

Close-out & issue resolution

Track intercompany, consolidation and audit questions through to a documented conclusion before the reporting deadline.

Who this is for

When India is one component—but a material reporting dependency.

The service is designed for UK decision-makers who need an India-based professional able to understand local records, communicate clearly and work within a controlled group process.

Common questions

Start with the reporting gap—not a generic package.

Do you provide UK statutory audit?

No. This is India-based component-reporting and coordination support. The appointed UK auditor retains responsibility for the group audit and any UK audit opinion.

Can you work with an existing Indian statutory auditor?

Yes, where the scope and information access are agreed by the relevant parties. The workplan must respect the local auditor’s role, professional independence and confidentiality obligations.

Is the service limited to manufacturing groups?

No. The working method applies across sectors, although our recurring experience with manufacturing, inventory and physical verification is particularly useful for stock-intensive businesses.

Can you work to a 31 December year-end?

Yes. Our relevant experience includes approximately five annual cycles of component reporting for a UK group with a 31 December reporting timetable.

What is needed for an initial discussion?

A high-level group structure, reporting deadline, expected deliverables, accounting framework and a summary of the current India reporting process are enough to identify the likely scope.

Professional scope

Services are subject to engagement acceptance, independence and conflict checks, applicable Indian professional requirements, client confidentiality and the instructions of the relevant UK group or group auditor. References to experience do not imply that Joneja & Co audits a UK parent company or is registered to provide UK statutory audit.

India in your group

Bring the Indian component into the reporting timetable with fewer surprises.

A short introductory meeting can establish the entities involved, present reporting gap, deadline and the responsibilities of each adviser.
