Quick Summary
PMS client audit focuses on fund/security segregation, reconciliation, and SEBI compliance. Use a structured audit program, checklist, and detailed report. Fees of Rs 500/client may be low given complexity and documentation needs.

  • PMS audit is mainly about segregation, reconciliation, and compliance.
  • Focus heavily on client-wise tracking of funds & securities—this is the core risk area.
  • Build a structured audit program + checklist, and issue a report covering observations + opinion + annexures.
  • Always align with SEBI PMS regulations and maintain strong documentation.

Request you to please share audit report format in this respect. It would be a great help if you also share audit program & checklist. Also, I want to understand professional fees for this assignment. Client has given budget of Rs 80000 for 160 clients in total (Rs 500/ client). Is this fees justified?
