Onboarding is the foundation of a successful compliance engagement. It involves understanding the business, collecting documents, reviewing historical compliance, and setting up processes. A structured onboarding ensures that no gaps remain and that compliance starts on the right foot.
This article explains the onboarding process.
Step 1: Discovery Call
We understand the business — industry, turnover, number of GSTINs, transaction volume, and pain points.
Step 2: Document Collection
We collect:
- GST registration certificates.
- Previous returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9).
- GSTR-2B extracts.
- Books of accounts.
- Bank statements.
Step 3: Historical Health Check
We review historical compliance for:
- Filing consistency.
- ITC claims.
- Notice history.
- Audit history.
Step 4: Process Setup
We set up:
- Reconciliation templates.
- Filing calendar.
- Communication channels.
- Access to the GST portal.
Step 5: Kickoff
We conduct a kickoff meeting to align on scope, deliverables, SLAs, and timelines.
