Financial and tax work shaped by the economics of manufacturing.
Our experience includes automotive components, engineering products, sheet-metal businesses and multinational manufacturing operations.
Manufacturing numbers need operating context.
A manufacturing balance sheet is affected by production cycles, inventory, customer programs, tooling, capex, vendor terms, quality claims, price revisions and financing arrangements.
Our approach is to connect accounting and tax analysis with the commercial facts that created the numbers.
Automotive Components
Experience across BIW assemblies, chassis components, parking brakes, stamped parts, locks, horns, mirrors, tooling, rubber-moulded parts and die-casting businesses.
Engineering & Industrial
Financial reporting, taxation, banking and controls for industrial and engineering businesses with complex supplier and customer structures.
Foreign-owned Operations
Accounting, statutory compliance, audit coordination and management reporting for Indian operations of overseas groups.
Typical questions in a growing manufacturing company.
The scope differs by client. Common matters include the following.
Audit and tax records built for scrutiny.
Manufacturing disputes often begin with a mismatch between financial statements, tax returns, GST data and production records. Our audit approach examines those connections before they are tested by the department.
No professional can guarantee that an enquiry will not occur or that no addition will be made. The objective is to remove avoidable weaknesses and preserve a defensible evidence trail.
High-attention areas
- Inventory, yield, scrap and consumption
- Customer pricing, credit notes and tooling
- GST turnover and input-tax-credit reconciliations
- Related parties, promoter transactions and transfer pricing
- Capital expenditure, repairs and depreciation
- Vendor balances, MSME payments and TDS
