Society Auditor Services
Statutory audit for co-operative housing societies and other co-operative societies — books, minutes, member ledgers and bye-law compliance under the applicable Co-operative Societies Act, delivered on the timeline your society's AGM needs.
Every registered co-operative society — including housing societies — is required to get its accounts audited annually by an auditor from the panel maintained under the state's Co-operative Societies Act (in Maharashtra, empanelled with the Registrar of Co-operative Societies). The audit covers cash and bank books, member ledgers, minute books, statutory registers and compliance with the society's bye-laws, and the audit report must typically be filed before the society's Annual General Meeting. The Classic Partners LLP conducts society audits end-to-end — books review, compliance checks and the final audit report — timed to your AGM schedule.
Audit-ready accounts before your AGM, not after
Society audits get rushed when the AGM date is fixed and the books aren't ready. We start with a pre-audit review of cash/bank books, member ledgers and minute books, flag gaps early, and deliver the final audit report with enough runway for the managing committee to review it before the AGM.
We're familiar with the specific registers, bye-law compliance points and rectification/compliance filing requirements co-operative societies are checked against, so findings are practical, not just technical.
