Financial statements a bank or investor can rely on
Statements are only as good as the trial balance under them. The statements SOP verifies the trial balance ties to the ledgers and that cash never goes negative on any date, confirms debtors and creditors with party statements, and only then prepares Schedule III financial statements — finishing with a walkthrough in plain language, not accounting jargon.
For companies, the statements feed statutory deadlines that arrive in a cluster after the AGM: AOC-4 filing of financials with the ROC within 30 days, the MGT-7/7A annual return within 60 days, and DPT-3 by 30 June for companies with loans or advances outstanding. Getting statements finalised early is what makes that season uneventful — and it is senior, CA-level work priced on the top rate slab.
