Dear friend,
here are some steps for finalisation of accounts on the basis of my personal experience
1). First of all taking copy of trial balance.
2). Going through the scrutiny of accounts appeared on trial balance.
3). making appropriate provisions of liability
4). taking annexures of TDS, ESI & PF payment along with due dates.
5). Taking Copy of Challans of TDS, ESI & PF Payment to verify the correctness of such payments.
6). Taking Copy of bills of Additions of Fixed assets & computation of depreciation thereon.
7). Computation of FBT liability, if applicable.
8). Confirmation statement from Bank, Major Parties.
