Manufacturing Industry

Brief Industry Introduction

The manufacturing sector is one of the strongest pillars of India’s economy, contributing significantly to GDP, employment, and exports. With government initiatives such as Make in India, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, and infrastructure push, the industry is positioned for rapid expansion and global competitiveness. However, manufacturers continue to face evolving challenges in taxation, compliance, working capital management, supply chain efficiency, and technology adoption.
At Mangesh Kadam & Associates, we combine industry-focused expertise, regulatory knowledge, and financial insight to provide practical, value-driven solutions tailored to the manufacturing ecosystem.

Key Challenges & How We Help

GST & Indirect Tax Compliance

Challenge

Manufacturers deal with multiple supply chain stages, frequent GST amendments, and industry-specific exemptions, leading to risks of mismatched credits, delayed refunds, and cash flow blockages

Our Role

We manage end-to-end GST compliance including registrations, return filings, reconciliations, e-invoicing, audits, and refund claims. Our structured approach ensures optimal use of input tax credits, reduces litigation risks, and supports smoother working capital cycles.

Cost Management & Profitability

Challenge

Rising raw material costs, energy prices, and stiff competition often compress profit margins. Lack of accurate costing systems further reduces decision-making efficiency.

Our Role

We design robust costing systems (including activity-based costing), conduct cost audits, and implement budgeting & MIS tools. By identifying cost leakages and benchmarking industry best practices, we help management make informed pricing, sourcing, and expansion decisions.

Inventory Valuation & Controls

Challenge

Incorrect valuation methods, weak stock management, and lack of reconciliation affect profitability, tax liabilities, and statutory reporting accuracy.

Our Role

We advise on compliant and industry-appropriate valuation methods (FIFO, weighted average, standard costing, etc.), strengthen stock control processes, and build inventory monitoring systems. This ensures transparency, better cash flow planning, and improved financial reporting.

Risk Management & Internal Controls

Challenge

Manufacturing units operate across multiple processes and departments, making them prone to fraud risks, process inefficiencies, regulatory lapses, and financial leakages. Weak internal controls can lead to revenue loss and compliance failures.

Our Role

Through risk-based internal audits, process reviews, and control framework design, we help strengthen governance systems. We identify gaps, recommend practical solutions, and assist in implementing standard operating procedures (SOPs) that enhance transparency, accountability, and long-term business sustainability

Statutory & Regulatory Compliance

Challenge

Manufacturers must comply with the Companies Act, labour regulations, environmental laws, factory safety standards, and other statutory frameworks. Non-compliance invites penalties and reputational risks.

Our Role

We provide comprehensive compliance management covering statutory audits, secretarial filings and environmental compliance checks. We also design internal control frameworks to minimize risks and improve governance standards.

Working Capital & Cash Flow Management

Challenge

Manufacturers often face delayed receivables from customers, extended credit periods, and high inventory holding, which block significant funds and strain liquidity. Inefficient working capital cycles can also increase dependence on costly borrowings.

Our Role

We provide end-to-end working capital advisory, including cash flow forecasting, credit policy structuring, receivable management, and inventory optimization. Our approach helps improve liquidity, reduce interest costs, and ensure that businesses have adequate funds to meet operational and expansion needs.
