RegAudit

Independent Compliance Audit for Enterprises

Your register says you are compliant.
We test whether you really are.

Scoped against every applicable statute

  • Factories Act
  • CLRA
  • EPF & ESIC
  • POSH
  • EPR
  • DPDP

What a compliance audit actually examines.

The organisations that get caught by a factory inspector almost always have all three of these in place. The problem is category confusion. None of them are compliance audits.

Statutory audit

Financial accuracy

Examines financial statements, taxation, and accounting accuracy under the Companies Act. Not labour law, EHS, state level licences, or contractor obligations.

Internal audit

Process adherence

Tests whether the organisation follows its own SOPs. Not whether those SOPs themselves meet the statutory standard, a critically different question.

Secretarial audit

Company law

Verifies Companies Act and SEBI obligations. Not the full spectrum of labour, environmental, safety, and sectoral statutes across your operations.

The missing layer

Compliance Audit: the law of the land

Examines every applicable Act, Rule, notification, and circular across central, state and local levels for every entity, location, and contractor. Covers what the other three are not designed to.

Declared. Documented. Demonstrated.

Every compliance obligation is tested against three evidentiary standards. If any one fails, the compliance is not closed, regardless of what the dashboard shows.

Declared

We test applicability against the statute: thresholds, workforce composition, process, capacity. Not against your current compliance calendar.

Documented

Registers in prescribed formats, licences current, returns and challans reconciling to operations, evidence meeting the standard a regulator would accept.

Reported

A single, coherent, risk ranked view scoped to the unit of enforcement: the local facility, not the corporate headquarters.

Are you inspection ready today?

Five questions. Two minutes. An honest picture of where your enterprise stands, before a regulator, investor, or acquirer asks the same questions.

  1. When did your enterprise last have an independent compliance audit?

    Not statutory, internal, or secretarial: a compliance audit covering all applicable laws.

  2. Do you have a consolidated view of regulatory notices across all locations?

    Show-cause notices, inspection findings, deficiency letters, demand orders.

  3. Have fire safety, emergency exits and PPE been physically verified in 12 months?

    Not on paper, physically checked by someone responsible.

  4. Is contractor compliance independently verified, not assumed from invoices?

    PF at UAN level, ESIC contributions, wage compliance, CLRA registers.

  5. Is your compliance applicability mapping independently validated?

    Does someone outside your compliance team verify what laws apply to each location?

Question 1 of 5

When did your enterprise last have an independent compliance audit?

Not statutory, internal, or secretarial: a compliance audit covering all applicable laws.

Your result

0 / 10

You already run a platform. Here’s why you still need this.

System of record

RegTrack: the compliance platform

Compliance monitoring software, ours or a competitor's, is essential. It ingests regulatory intelligence, structures obligations, captures evidence and flags exceptions in real time. It gives you a system of record.

Assurance layer

RegAudit: the independent audit

An audit does something different. As the assurance layer of your governance, risk and compliance (GRC) framework, it independently tests whether that system of record reflects reality. Different input. Different evidence standard. Different output.

If your compliance dashboard shows 100% green, the right question is: how much reflects verified reality, and how much reflects declared status?

A baseline RegAudit answers that definitively, usually within three to five weeks.

Questions we get in every first meeting.

What is a compliance audit, and how is it different from a statutory or internal audit?

A compliance audit examines adherence to the full spectrum of applicable central, state and local laws across every entity, location and contractor. A statutory audit examines financial reporting; an internal audit examines process adherence.

Why do we need this if we already have a compliance management platform?

Platforms track what users enter. Audits validate what the statute requires against what actually exists on site. A 100% green dashboard reflects declared status, not verified reality.

What does a RegAudit engagement cover?

All 40+ compliance types: licences, consents, registrations, filings, payments, registers, appointments, displays, infrastructure standards, contractor compliance and regulatory notices, per entity and per operating location.

How long does a RegAudit engagement take?

A single-location baseline typically runs 3 to 5 weeks from scoping to final risk-ranked report. Multi-location engagements scale with the number of entities and locations.

Does RegAudit work with enterprises using other platforms?

Yes. RegAudit is platform-agnostic. The audit independently validates whether any monitoring system’s output reflects on-ground reality, which is exactly why it needs to be independent.

Who is personally liable for compliance failures in India?

Directors, KMP, Occupiers under the Factories Act, Principal Officers, Compliance Officers and Data Protection Officers are personally named across more than 26,000 statutory clauses carrying imprisonment provisions.

One location · Baseline · 3–5 weeks to report

Start with one location.

One plant, one warehouse, one corporate office, scoped as a baseline. Three to five weeks from start to a risk ranked exposure register your board can act on. Indicative pricing shared upfront.

If the finding is material, and it almost always is, the same methodology scales to your full entity and contractor footprint through our vendor compliance services.

What a baseline delivers

  • Risk-ranked exposure register

    Every finding scored, owned and dated

  • Per-location applicability map

    What law applies where, independently validated

  • Contractor compliance verification

    UAN level PF, wage compliance, CLRA registers
