ERP for Auditors

For a very long time now, the Manufacturing MSMEs in India on the data front has been working with approximation in the absence of  proper IT solution.

GST is compelling the Manufacturing Industry to build a transparent, accurate transaction data on a daily basis for the compliance.

The other challenge is that the Manufacturing MSMEs does not have access for the professional accountants to handle their data. Post-GST has thrown a great opportunity for the Auditors (CAs) to help the MSMEs with an end-to-end ERP system.

  • All the Accounting entries are passed by the Back office

The MSME users while creating the data like Supplier, Item, Customers can create Masters as per the GST compliance. Auditors can also help the MSMEs in the Do’s and Dont’s while configuring the Master data for the GST compliance.

The MSMEs can take care of the basic purchase, Sales and inventory entries. The extended financial entries can be taken care by the Audit team. Since this is real-time data, it will be easy for the audit team to find if there are any mistake in the data on the daily basis. This will be an on-line system. So the Audit team can access the on-line data from their location.
