What accounting standards do foreign subsidiaries in India follow?

Indian companies follow Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) if they meet specified thresholds, or the Companies Accounting Standards Rules 2006 otherwise. Ind AS is largely converged with IFRS, facilitating group-level consolidation.

What is included in outsourced accounting services?

Services typically include maintaining books of accounts (Tally/SAP/Xero/QuickBooks), monthly ledger reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable management, payroll processing, TDS computation and returns, GST filings, and preparation of financial statements.

Why do foreign subsidiaries outsource accounting in India?

Outsourcing provides cost efficiency, access to professionals familiar with Indian regulations, reduced compliance risk, and allows management to focus on core business rather than back-office functions.
