CORAA
Schedule III financials · built for auditors· Sch III

The financials still get retyped into Excel — and that's where the tie-outs break.

CORAA generates the full Schedule III Balance Sheet, P&L and Cash Flow from your audited trial balance — imported from Tally, Busy or an Excel TB and mapped once to Schedule III lines, then reused next year. Framework-aware across Division I (AS), II (Ind AS), III (NBFC) and LLP, with full CY/PY comparatives and an indirect Cash Flow that actually reconciles. Every figure traces back to its source row. CORAA prepares the set; the auditor reviews, edits and signs.

One ledger, six tabs

The whole statement stack on one screen — and the >25% move drafts its own note.

BS · P&L · Cash Flow

The three faces, Schedule III line by line, with full current-year and prior-year comparatives. The indirect Cash Flow (AS 3 / Ind AS 7) reconciles back to the movement in cash — not a free-typed schedule.

Ratios

All 11 Schedule III ratios (General Instructions, 2021 amendment) computed deterministically from the face lines. Any year-on-year move beyond 25% is flagged — and auto-drafts the Schedule III explanatory note for the auditor to review, not a blank box to fill at 2 a.m. The figures are computed; the note wording is a first draft for you to edit.

Notes

Notes to Accounts auto-derived and tie-out-gated to each face line, so a note can't disagree with the number above it. Management representations carry an explicit "auditor to confirm" tag.

Mapping

Every Schedule III line opens to the trial-balance groupings and source rows behind it. The mapping is the preparation trail — click a figure, see which TB rows it came from.

What it generates

Every face, every framework — drawn from your mapped trial balance.

01

Balance Sheet

Full Schedule III Balance Sheet with the prescribed line items, CY/PY comparatives and the Schedule III rounding policy (rounding unit set by turnover) applied consistently. Built from your mapped trial balance, so the face foots and cross-casts to the audited TB, line for line.

02

Statement of P&L

Revenue, expenses and the prescribed disclosures laid out to the Division's format, with comparatives. Exceptional and other-income lines kept distinct rather than netted into a single total.

03

Cash Flow Statement

A reconciling indirect Cash Flow under AS 3 / Ind AS 7 — operating, investing and financing — that ties back to the opening-to-closing cash movement. If it doesn't reconcile, it tells you where, instead of plugging the difference. Small companies often exempt from Cash Flow can switch it off where it doesn't apply.

04

Framework-aware output

Division I (AS), Division II (Ind AS), Division III (NBFC) and the LLP / firm format — each with its own line structure and disclosures. Pick the framework; the face follows it, rather than forcing a company template onto an NBFC.

05

Schedule III ratios + auto-notes

All 11 ratios computed deterministically from the statements — a Schedule III disclosure under the General Instructions (2021 amendment), not a CARO requirement. A move beyond 25% year on year auto-drafts the explanatory note Schedule III requires; the figures are computed, the wording is phrased for the auditor to confirm, edit or reject, never auto-finalised.

06

Notes to Accounts pack

Notes auto-derived and tie-out-gated to each face line, exported as an Excel and DOCX pack ready for the working-paper file. Management representations flagged "auditor to confirm" so judgement stays with the engagement team.

Why it holds up in review

A statement set you can defend — line by line, back to source.

Re-performable preparation trail

Every figure is timestamped, rule-cited and traced to the source trial-balance row, exportable into the working-paper file. It's a preparation working paper a reviewer can re-perform line by line — a clean SA 230 record of how the set was built, not a substitute for the audit evidence you still gather under SA 500.

Deterministic and reproducible

The same trial balance produces the same statements every run — no sampling, no stochastic drift. Every face line is a full re-computation of its mapped TB rows, not a figure keyed by hand, so the casting and cross-casting are arithmetically guaranteed and your testing effort moves to the heads that matter.

Materiality-gated (SA 320)

Differences and ratio moves are surfaced against a materiality threshold you set, so the review focuses on what could change the opinion rather than every rounding paisa.

Built for messy ledgers

Real trial balances arrive as a Tally, Busy or Excel export with misgrouped heads, multiple GSTINs, prior-period restatements and accounts that don't map cleanly to a Schedule III line. You map them once and reuse the mapping next year; anything that doesn't fit is surfaced for the auditor to route, never silently bucketed into "Other". CORAA presents your audited TB in Schedule III form — it does not audit the ledger or invent the evidence.

Who it's for

From the first draft to the signed set — everyone works off the same numbers.

The article

Stops retyping the trial balance into a Schedule III template and re-checking cross-casts. The face, comparatives and Cash Flow come pre-built from the mapped ledger, so the day goes to understanding the numbers instead of formatting them.

The manager

Opens any face line and sees the groupings and source rows behind it, the ratios already computed, and the >25% notes drafted for review — with the firm's grouping rules applied the same way on every file, across offices. Coaching the file shifts from chasing tie-outs to confirming judgement.

The partner

Signs a set where every figure traces to source, the Cash Flow reconciles and the disclosure notes tie to the face. CORAA prepares the draft; the partner audits and signs. The preparation trail is re-performable, so the review stands up when it's questioned.

Questions auditors ask

Straight answers before you trust it with a file

You import your Tally, Busy or Excel trial balance and map each head to its Schedule III line once. That mapping — including your firm's grouping preferences for heads like "Other current assets" — is saved and reused next year, so setup is mainly a first-year cost, not a recurring one. Last year's signed Schedule III can be carried in as the prior-year comparative column so the PY ties to what you actually filed. Frameworks are fully covered: Division I (AS), II (Ind AS), III (NBFC) and the LLP / firm format each follow their own prescribed line structure — see the framework card above.
All 11 ratios are computed deterministically from the face lines. These are a Schedule III disclosure under the General Instructions (2021 amendment) — not a CARO requirement, and not Rule 11(e) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, which is the unrelated onward-funding / ultimate-beneficiaries representation. Where a ratio moves more than 25% year on year, the engine auto-drafts the explanatory note Schedule III requires: the numbers are computed, the wording is a first draft for the auditor to confirm, edit or reject — never auto-finalised, because the explanation is a matter of judgement.
Yes — it's a reconciling indirect Cash Flow under AS 3 / Ind AS 7. Operating, investing and financing flows tie back to the opening-to-closing movement in cash and cash equivalents. If the statement doesn't reconcile, it shows you where the gap is instead of plugging the difference into a balancing line. Where a small company is exempt from preparing a Cash Flow, you can switch it off.
Notes are auto-derived and tie-out-gated to each face line, so a note cannot disagree with the figure it supports. The numbers in each note are computed from the mapped ledger; narrative wording is drafted for you to edit. Management representations are tagged "auditor to confirm". The pack exports to Excel and DOCX, ready to drop into the working-paper file.
Client ledgers are hosted in India, handled in line with the DPDPA, on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. Your data is never used to train any model. Access is engagement-scoped, and the preparation trail records who generated and exported each statement set.
The auditor owns the opinion, entirely. CORAA prepares a draft statement set for management to adopt; the engagement team directs the work, reviews it, edits it and signs. Because management takes responsibility for the financials and the tool is a preparation aid — not a substitute for management's books, nor for audit evidence under SA 500 — it sits inside your firm's usual independence safeguards. Where the firm both drafts and audits financials for an assurance client (especially a listed / PIE engagement), apply the safeguards the Code of Ethics requires and set the posture per engagement. Nothing is auto-finalised — not the >25% notes, and not the statement set as a whole.
