FAQs on Society Audit
What is a society audit?
Society audit is the statutory examination of the books of account and records of a cooperative housing society, credit cooperative society, or other registered society. It verifies that the society's funds and assets are managed in line with the applicable Cooperative Societies Act, model bye-laws, and resolutions of the managing committee and general body.
Is audit mandatory for every cooperative housing society?
Yes. Under most state Cooperative Societies Acts, every registered cooperative society including housing societies is required to get its accounts audited annually within the timelines prescribed by the law. Audit reports are then submitted to the Registrar of Cooperative Societies and presented to members in the Annual General Body Meeting.
Who can be appointed as a society auditor?
A society auditor is generally a Chartered Accountant or other qualified professional empanelled with the office of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies for the relevant state. The auditor is appointed by the general body of the society from the panel approved by the Registrar, in line with applicable rules.
What records does a society need to maintain?
A society is typically required to maintain a cash book, members' register, share register, property register, minute book of managing committee and general body, receipts and payments register, vouchers, lease and conveyance documents, and statutory registers prescribed under the applicable Act and bye-laws.
What is the difference between statutory audit and internal audit of a society?
Statutory audit is conducted annually as required by the Cooperative Societies Act and is filed with the Registrar. Internal audit is voluntary or rule-based, conducted at shorter intervals to review processes, controls, and member-wise dues. Many large societies use both for stronger financial discipline.
What are common observations in society audits?
Frequent observations include delays in maintenance recovery, mismatches between members' register and accounts, inadequate documentation for repairs and contracts, weak fixed deposit and investment management, non-compliance with bye-laws on transfer fees and nominations, and gaps in TDS or statutory dues.
What happens if a society does not get its accounts audited?
Failure to get accounts audited can attract penalties under the applicable Cooperative Societies Act, action against managing committee members, restrictions on certain transactions, and difficulty in conducting AGMs and approving accounts. It may also lead to special audit or inquiry by the Registrar in serious cases.
