A Tax Audit is mandatory if the total sales, turnover, or gross receipts of a business exceed ₹10 Crores in a financial year. However, if the cash transactions (receipts and payments) exceed 5% of total transactions, the threshold limit is ₹2 Crore.

What is CARO and does it apply to all companies?

CARO refers to the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order. It requires auditors to report on specific matters like inventory verification, loan defaults, internal audit systems, and statutory dues. It applies to all companies except one-person companies, small companies, and specific private companies matching exemption thresholds.
