What MSKA & Associates does

MSKA & Associates LLP is an Indian limited liability partnership firm established in 1978, registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). It is a member firm of the BDO International accounting network, which provides access to global methodologies and cross-border referral pipeline, while the firm maintains independent ownership and Indian market operations. The firm delivers professional services across three core lines: Audit & Assurance (statutory audit, limited reviews, tax audits, certifications), Tax (cross-border taxation, GST, transfer pricing, transaction tax, representation), and Advisory (accounting advisory, cyber security & IT advisory, due diligence, ERP advisory, forensics, government advisory, risk advisory, valuations).

The firm operates from 12 offices across India including Mumbai (headquarters), Bengaluru, Gurugram, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and others, with a headcount of 5,001-10,000. It serves Banking/Financial Services/Insurance, Technology/Media/Telecommunications, Aerospace/Defence/Security, and Real Estate/Construction verticals, with BFSI as the primary segment. The firm handles audits of Nifty-500 listed companies and supports IPO, rights issues, and qualified institution placements. Revenue is generated on a professional services fee model through custom engagements priced by scope and complexity, with no public pricing. The firm is currently exposed to material regulatory headwinds: NFRA inspection findings in 2026 flagged audit deficiencies, and the firm was summoned by SFIO in April 2026 to join the IndusInd Bank derivatives fraud investigation.
