22 February 2017 A statutory audit is an audit, which is made mandatory by law for eg, A company is governed by Companies Act, a trust is governed by Trust Act, Bank by RBI Act, NBFC by RBI Act and Companies Act etc. So it the requirement of that particular act that the organization needs to get its accounts audited. A statutory audit is a compulsory audit.

Whereas threshold limit for tax audit for FY 2016-17 - turnover exceed Rs. 2 crore.for assessee's claiming presumptive taxation benefit under section (u/s) 44AD of the Income Tax Act 1961 (the Act).
