What is a GST Audit?

A GST audit is a detailed examination of financial records, GST returns, and compliance documents of a registered
person. It verifies sales, output tax payments, ITC claims, and refunds.

The audit reconciles audited financial statements with the annual return (GSTR-9C) and ensures adherence to GST
regulations.

At TwinDesk Accounting and Legal Advisors LLP, our GST experts ensure a smooth audit process aligned with your
business objectives.
