Statutory Audit, GST Reco & TDS Verification Tools
Automate creditor ledger scrutiny, GST reconciliations, and TDS compliance verifications with 100% secure, offline audit tools built for Indian CA firms.
ℹ️ Designed specifically for Indian CA firms handling statutory audits, tax audits, and GST-heavy engagements.
What Manual Audits Miss
Standard sampling procedures and manual ledger checks frequently fail to capture systemic transaction manipulation, statutory timelines, and complex rate structures hidden in database volumes.
Split Cash Payments
Cash disbursements split across multiple ledger headings or scattered vouchers to stay under the Section 40A(3) daily limit (₹10,000) are virtually impossible to consolidate manually across thousands of dates.
180-Day GST Reversal
Delayed vendor aging directly impacts GSTR-2B Input Tax Credit eligibility. Calculating Rule 37 compliance requires checking credit invoice payment dates systematically against FIFO bank payouts.
MSME Compliance Risks
Manual scrutiny often misses payment deadline violations for Small & Micro vendors. Unpaid entries at year-end attract automatic tax disallowance under Section 43B(h) and mandatory interest payouts.
TDS Deduction Gaps
Checking statutory TDS deduction rates manually against contractor profiles under Section 194C or professional services under Section 194J is highly prone to clerical oversights at high volumes.
Why Manual Ledger Review Breaks at Scale
Most CA firms rely heavily on Microsoft Excel for ledger scrutiny. However, traditional spreadsheets fail to execute cross-ledger, chronological compliance checks.

Why Firms Hesitate to Use Audit Software
Practicing CAs distrust generic software tools because of client confidentiality, AI errors, and operational friction. We designed our architecture explicitly around these real constraints.
| CA Firm Concern | AuditLens Practical Approach |
|---|---|
| “Client ledger database data may leak online” | Completely offline architecture. All files are parsed inside local machine memory. No network connections, no external database uploads, and no cloud syncing are executed. |
| “AI tools hallucinate and miss precise audit rules” | Deterministic rule-based logic. Checks transactions against strict statutory tax parameters and mathematical limits, completely bypassing unreliable generative AI models. |
| “Outputs are generic and require manual cross-check” | Explainable audit flags. Every disallowance or exposure report cites the exact Indian statutory section (e.g. Section 194C, Section 43B(h)) and lists the trace evidence. |
| “Audit assistants resist adopting complex software” | Excel-compatible workflows. Inputs are read directly from standard Tally exports, and all scrutiny outcomes are exported back as standard Excel working sheets. |

Detected hidden payment pattern missed during manual scrutiny
A mid-sized firm using CAControl during a statutory audit flagged a series of split cash payments that had bypassed the manual audit sample checks, avoiding potential disallowance under Section 40A(3).
Reduced ledger verification time from 2 days to 4 hours
Instead of manual checking line-by-line in general ledgers for MSME overdue rule and GST 180-day limits, audit assistants completed full creditor scrutiny in a single afternoon.
