Mapping

Every account on the right line, with the reason

Closio places each account in your trial balance on a Schedule III line using how 627 audited Indian private limited companies present theirs, and shows the evidence for each choice. You see why an account landed where it did, not just where.

Accounts whose type isn't clear are listed for your review instead of being guessed.

Checks

Checked before your auditor sees it

Before the statements go out, Closio checks that the balance sheet balances and the cash flow ties to the actual change in cash, and lists anything that needs a decision. The previous year's figures sit beside the current year's.

Balance sheet balances

Assets equal equity and liabilities

Cash flow ties

Net cash flow equals the change in cash

Yearly accounts questions

What is the Schedule III format?

Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 sets how an Indian company presents its balance sheet and statement of profit and loss. Division I is for companies that follow Accounting Standards (AS) and Division II for those that follow Ind AS.

Does Closio prepare Ind AS statements?

Yes. Closio prepares statements under Division I (AS) or Division II (Ind AS), whichever your company follows.

Does Closio prepare the cash flow statement?

Yes. It is built from your opening and closing balances and checked against the actual change in cash, so it always ties.

Can I get statements for any period, not just the year?

Yes. Balance sheet, profit and loss, cash flow and notes for any month, quarter or date, as a PDF, with the previous year's figures alongside for annual accounts.

Does Closio file AOC-4 or the income tax return?

No. Closio prepares the financial statements. You or your CA file AOC-4 and MGT-7 with the MCA and the income tax return with the tax department.

Do we still need an auditor?

Yes. Every private limited company needs a statutory audit. Closio gives your auditor statements where every figure traces back to the ledger, so the audit goes faster.
