Society Auditor Services

Statutory audit for co-operative housing societies, credit societies and co-operative bodies in Goa — under the Co-operative Societies Act, with proper audit classification and reporting to the Registrar.

Overview

Clean accounts, confident members.

Every co-operative society — from a housing society to a credit society — must have its accounts audited annually under the Co-operative Societies Act and report to the Registrar. A well-conducted audit reassures members, supports a good audit classification, and keeps the managing committee on the right side of compliance.

N D Savla & Associates provides experienced society audit services across Goa, examining funds, member records and statutory compliance. We also support ongoing society accounting and filings, and our work sits alongside our wider audit & assurance practice.

Frequently asked questions

Society audit, answered.

What is a society audit?

The statutory audit of a co-operative society — housing, credit or other co-operative body — under the applicable Co-operative Societies Act. It examines accounts, compliance and management, resulting in an audit report and classification submitted to the Registrar.

Is audit mandatory for a co-operative housing society?

Yes. Co-operative societies, including housing societies, are generally required to be audited annually, with audited accounts placed before the general body and filed with the Registrar within the prescribed time.

Who can audit a co-operative society?

A Chartered Accountant or an auditor empanelled or approved for co-operative audit under the applicable state law. The managing committee appoints the auditor, usually with general-body approval.

What is audit classification for societies?

After the audit, the society is awarded a classification — commonly grades such as A, B, C or D — reflecting the quality of its accounts, compliance and financial position. A good grade reflects sound management.

What does a society audit examine?

Receipts and payments, income and expenditure, balance sheet, member records and contributions, maintenance and sinking funds, statutory registers, bye-law and Act compliance, and committee decisions.

What records should a society keep for audit?

Cash and bank books, general ledger, member register, contribution and maintenance records, fund accounts, meeting minutes, bank statements and prior-year audited accounts. We provide a checklist.

Do you audit housing and credit societies across Goa?

Yes — co-operative housing societies, credit societies and other co-operative bodies across Panaji, Margao, Vasco, Mapusa, Ponda and the rest of Goa.

Can you also help with society accounting and compliance?

Yes. Beyond the audit, we help societies maintain books, prepare annual accounts, file returns with the Registrar and stay compliant with bye-laws and statutory requirements year-round.
