    Top Indian Companies and their Auditors

    The Indian accounting landscape is primarily regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). The ICAI sets standards and guidelines for accounting and auditing practices. As of recent estimates, India has over 400,000 Chartered Accountants (CAs). There are also more than 200,000 CA firms. This reflects a robust profession. The accounting practices in India adhere to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). These standards are converging with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The landscape is continually evolving with reforms aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability.

    Network firms in India

    Many registered public accounting firms are part of larger networks to enhance their service offerings and reach. Firms must disclose their affiliations in their annual PCAOB (Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) Form 2 reports, specifically detailing any networks they are part of.Item 5.2 mandates the identification of any memberships or affiliations that provide access to audit procedures, manuals, or branding for audit services. Below are firms Indian audit firms registered with the US PCAOB.

    Top Audit Firms in India

    In India, regulations do not permit foreign auditing firms to operate. Hence KPMG carries out audits in India under the name of BSR & Co, an auditing firm that it bought. BSR & Co was an auditing firm founded by B.S. Raut in Mumbai. Deloitte carries out audits in India under multiple names of C.C.Chokshi & Co, Fraser & Ross, PC Hansotia & Company and SB Billimoria & Company and Deloitte Haskins & Sells. Price Waterhouse is the Indian affiliate of PwC. EY carries out its Indian audit operations through the firm SR Batliboi & Associates.

    Price Waterhouse was banned in 2019 by Indian market regulator Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for a period of 2 years from conducting any audits. This order was later set aside by the Appellate Tribunal. Based on looking at the top 100 companies of India by market cap, PwC only audits 6 companies. KPMG audits 23 of the top 100 companies either individually or as a joint auditor while EY audits 22 of them. Deloitte audits 17 of the 100 companies. Indian audit market is highly fragmented with local firms auditing some of the biggest listed companies. Also, a significant number of companies on the top 100 list is government owned where auditors are non-big4 firms appointed by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.

    Deloitte Australia is led by Adam Powick. For FY21, Deloitte recorded a revenue of AUD 2.31 billion vs. AUD 2.45 billion in FY20. Certainly the pandemic has taken a toll on the business leading to a 2% decline in revenues. However, Deloitte’s annual report mentions that profitability improved by 8%.

    Below is an interesting data point on Deloitte’s revenues in Australia. Audit revenues grew mid single-digits over the past 5 years. Majority of the growth was attributed to non-audit services to non-audit clients which grew on an average 15% y-o-y.

    Deloitte PCAOB Inspection Report

    PCAOB released its 2019 inspection report for Deloitte in FY20. Of the 58 audits reviewed, Part I.A deficiencies were identified in 6 of them (a deficiency rate of 10%!!). For 2018 and 2017, Deloitte’s deficiency rate were 12% and 20% respectively. I guess there is no scope for improvement here :). This is the lowest deficiency rate seen to date! (Looking forward to the PwC inspection report for next year. Rumor is its less than 1%).

    Both financial statement and ICFR audits422

    ICFR audit only036

    Financial statement audit deficiencies include failure to perform sufficient testing related to an account, failure to obtain sufficient evidence due to overreliance on controls, and failure to evaluate data and assumptions in developing an estimate. Deficiencies in ICFR audit include nonidentification of controls related to significant account and non-testing of design and operating effectiveness of controls. No deficiencies were identified with respect to the completeness and accuracy of the data used for controls.

    Following are the audit areas with frequent Part I.A deficiencies. These are also some of the audit areas most frequently reviewed.

    Revenue and related accounts216
    Investment securities111
    Inventory202
    Goodwill and intangible assets101
    Insurance-related assets & liabilities031

    Improvements noted in auditing Insurance-related assets & liabilities and revenue accounts.

    Looking at the break-up by Industry sector, 12 audits were reviewed from the Information Technology sector with deficiencies identified in 1 of them (0.08%!). Most of audits reviewed were within the $1 billion to $2.5 billion revenue range (11 of them). 4 issuers with revenues exceeding $50 billion were reviewed with no deficiency identified in them.

    Deloitte keeps improving each year. Looking forward to the next year where we might have a 0% deficiency! maybe!
