For Corporates, Foundations & Philanthropists

From compliance
to verified impact.

CSR is no longer a back-office compliance function. Section 135, BRSR, and rising stakeholder scrutiny have made it a strategic priority that boards are accountable for. We help you govern it with the same rigour you apply to every other capital decision.

Pillars: govern, measure, deliver
The Standard Has Raised

Boards want to defend
their CSR governance.

Good intentions are no longer enough. Boards and CSR committees are increasingly asked to demonstrate not just that funds were spent, but that they were spent well — with due diligence, strategic alignment, and evidence of impact. We provide the infrastructure to answer those questions with confidence.

Three Pillars

How we work with Corporates

CSR Strategy & Governance

The framework that keeps your CSR committee confident and your board defensible. Annual policy formation, fund allocation, and compliance assurance — CA-led and audit-ready.

Impact Measurement & Assurance

Only a CA can do this

CA-Led Audit Services.
Not just advisory opinions.

Most CSR consultancies can advise. Very few can audit. As a CA-led firm, Social Sutra delivers formal audit-grade deliverables that stand up in front of a board, a regulator, or a statutory authority — because they are signed off by a practising Chartered Accountant.

These are not reports you commission to feel confident. These are reports you produce to be confident — and to demonstrate that confidence to others.

Audited CSR Expense Reports

Formal, CA-signed audit reports of CSR expenditure — verifying that funds were spent as committed, for the stated purpose, with proper documentation. The deliverable your board and your regulator can both rely on.

Board-Ready Regulator-Compliant CA-Signed

CSR Audit

Independent audit of your CSR programme — examining whether expenditure matches stated objectives, whether partner NGOs are compliant, and whether your programme delivers the impact you reported. Governance confidence for your committee and your board.

"Philanthropy — when structured with transparency and evidence — is a powerful tool for nation-building. It deserves the same rigour as any other capital decision."
