A major transaction can look financially sound on paper while hidden liabilities, related-party dealings, unusual fund movements, or creditor-impacting transfers remain unnoticed. Transaction Audit Services provide a structured way to examine these risks before they become costly disputes or compliance concerns. At ASC Group, transaction audits are particularly focused on identifying questionable transactions under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), including preferential, undervalued, fraudulent, and extortionate transactions.
*What Problems Can Arise Without a Transaction Audit?
*
When financial transactions are reviewed only at a surface level, important warning signs may be missed. These can include:
Unexplained transfers to related parties or connected entities
Transactions that reduce the value available to creditors
Inadequately supported payments or unusual cash movements
Preferential or undervalued transactions during the relevant look-back period
Incomplete documentation that makes recovery or legal action difficult
Financial information that does not provide a clear picture of the transaction trail
For insolvency matters, Sections 43 to 51 of the IBC provide the framework for examining specific categories of avoidable transactions. A properly designed audit can help stakeholders identify, quantify, and document these issues.
*The Key Question: How Can Transaction Risk Be Identified Early?
*
The answer is a systematic, evidence-based review rather than relying solely on financial statements.
A professional transaction audit consultant examines the available books, ledgers, bank records, related-party information, agreements, and supporting documents. The objective is to connect the financial entry with its underlying commercial purpose and determine whether the transaction requires further investigation.
ASC Group applies this approach through focused Transaction Audit Services, including:
Examination of books of accounts and transaction records
Analysis of bank statements and cash flows
Identification of related-party transactions
Review for preferential and undervalued transactions
Identification and reporting of PUFE transactions
Preparation of clear, evidence-supported audit findings
