Why these need a practising Chartered Accountant
A certificate is only useful to the bank, embassy or authority receiving it if it carries a CA's membership number and signature, issued under professional standards that make the CA personally accountable for what's stated. We ask for the supporting records before certifying anything — a certificate is a professional opinion on the underlying facts, not a form-filling exercise.
Because these requests are often deadline-driven, the fastest way to get one issued is to bring the supporting documents and the recipient's exact format requirement at the first conversation, rather than partway through — mismatched formats are the most common reason a certificate gets sent back for revision.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can a net worth certificate be issued?
Once the supporting documents — asset and liability statements, bank statements, property records — are provided, turnaround is typically a few working days.
Is Form 15CB always required for a foreign remittance?
Not always — it depends on the nature and amount of the remittance and whether an exemption applies. We confirm this before starting the certification.
Can you prepare CMA data for a loan I'm applying for at a different bank?
Yes, we prepare CMA data and project reports to the standard format banks generally expect, and adjust for a specific bank's requirements where they differ.
Do these certificates expire?
Most are certified as of a specific date and are treated as current only for a limited period by whoever receives them — check the requesting authority's own validity requirement.
What documents do I need to bring for a turnover certificate?
Typically the audited or provisional financial statements for the relevant period, along with GST returns for the same period where available, so the figures can be cross-checked.
Can a certificate be issued for a period that hasn't been audited yet?
In some cases, based on provisional or management accounts, with that basis clearly stated on the certificate — whether this is acceptable depends on what the recipient requires.
