EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project that I worked upon is titled as “STUDY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT


& AUDITING SERVICES PROVIDED BY DEVENDRA DAHIYA &
COMPANY”. It was completed after a depth analysis of the particular client’s
Financial statements.

In this project, I have studied the firm’s clients financial statements, analyzing their
growth, performance and any abnormal losses occurrence, which I observed while
assisting the auditor, during the audit of the particular client’s business.

The project also discusses about how chartered accountants firms conducts tax audit
of the client’s companies which is statutory in nature.

The primary data has been collected by obtaining the necessary set of book of
accounts, financial statements, vouchers, past audit reports etc. from the client’s
accounts office. Also, I did a parallel study about the effectiveness of the financial
services rendered by the CA firm and why is it necessary for the companies to get the
audits done.

In this project, I have also mentioned about the various types of advanced auditing,
brief description about the taxation and their usage and necessity along with the
analysis and interpretation of the data, gathered through the primary and secondary
sources. I also gathered information, views of the clients to examine the effectiveness
of the working behavior and the services provided by the CA firm and the extent of
client satisfaction by personally interviewing the staff.

INTRODUCTION
 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS:

Chartered Accountants:

An accounting designation given to accounting professionals in many countries


around the world except the United States. A Chartered Accountant (CA) designation
typically proves the holder has the qualifications to audit financial statements and
business practices as well as offer advisory services to clientele. They enjoy a
statutory monopoly in audit of financial statements under the Companies Act, 2013,
Income Tax Act, 1961 and various other statutes in India. Financial statements
audited by a chartered accountant are presumed to have been prepared according to
GAAP in India (otherwise the audit report should be qualified). However, not all
Chartered Accountants work in audit. Firms of accountants provide varied business
services, and many accountants are employed in commerce and industry. Their areas
of expertise include financial reporting, auditing and assurance, arbitration, risk
management, economics, corporate finance, management accounting, information
systems audit, corporate law, direct tax, indirect tax and valuation of businesses. The
Government of India is now planning to open up a new field of practice in social audit
of government welfare schemes like MGNREGA and JnNURM. Apart from the field
of professional practice, some CAs work in industry and commerce in financial and
general management positions such as CFO and CEO.

 THE INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS OF INDIA (ICAI):

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is a statutory body established


under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 (Act No. XXXVIII of 1949) for the
Regulation of the profession of Chartered Accountants in India. ICAI now is the
second largest accounting body in the whole world. The Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India was established under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949
passed by the Parliament of India with the objective of regulating accountancy
profession in India. ICAI is the second largest professional accounting body in the
world in terms of membership second only to AICPA. It prescribes the qualifications
for a Chartered Accountant, conducts the requisite examinations and grants license in
the form of Certificate of Practice. Apart from this primary function, it also helps
various government agencies like RBI, SEBI, MCA, CAG, IRDA, etc. in policy
formulation.

ICAI's first president was CA G.P. Kapadia (1949 to 1952), CA Manoj Fadnis is the
current president of ICAI and CA M. Devaraja Reddy is current vice president.

ICAI is the only licensing cum regulating body of the financial audit and accountancy
profession in India. It recommends the accounting standards to be followed by
companies in India to The National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and sets
the accounting standards to be followed by other types of organizations. ICAI is
solely responsible for setting the auditing and assurance standards to be followed in
the audit of financial statements in India. It also issues other technical standards like
Standards on Internal Audit (SIA), Corporate Affairs Standards (CAS) etc. to be
followed by practicing Chartered Accountants. It works closely with the Government
of India, Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India in
formulating and enforcing such standards. Members of the Institute are known as
Chartered Accountants. Chartered Accountants are subject to a published Code of
Ethics and professional standards, violation of which is subject to disciplinary action.
Only a member of ICAI can be appointed as statutory auditor of an Indian company
under the Companies Act, 2013. The management of the Institute is vested with its
Council with the president acting as its Chief Executive Authority. A person can
become a member of ICAI by taking prescribed examinations and undergoing three
years of practical training. The membership course is well known for its rigorous
standards. ICAI has entered into mutual recognition agreements with other
professional accounting bodies world-wide for reciprocal membership recognition.
ICAI is one of the founder members of the International Federation of Accountants
(IFAC), South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA), and Confederation of Asian
and Pacific Accountants (CAPA). ICAI was formerly the provisional jurisdiction for
XBRL International in India.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature review is an abstract of the reference books and webliography
that is used for helping in the making of the project – “STUDY OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENT & AUDITING SERVICES PROVIDED BY A
DEVENDRA DAHIYA & COMPANY.”

“Audit of accounts in the corporate sector was always mandatory by virtue of


the provisions of The Companies Act, 1956. Realizing the importance of audit
this requirement has been extended to non-corporate assesses. Since by virtue
of sec 44AB all assesses irrespective of their nature, if they fulfill the criteria as
laid out in the section have to get their accounts audited.
The intention of bringing in this piece of legislation as observed by the Finance
Minister while presenting the Union Budget for 1984-85 is the compulsory
audit is intended to ensure proper maintenance of books of accounts and other
records, in order to reflect the true income of the tax payer and to facilitate the
administration of tax laws by a proper presentation of the accounts before the
tax authorities. This would also save the time of the Assessing Officers
considerably in carrying out the verification.

The limits of turnover have been in place for the past 16 years as a result the
number of assesses under the ambit of sec 44AB has risen alarmingly. There is
a need to revise the turnover limits upwards since only then will it be able to
help the Assessing Officers to pay special attention to such assesses .The
situation at present is that the Assessing Officers are inundated with a plethora
of Tax Audit Reports which has increased the burden on the taxman naturally
affecting the quality of assessments.”

ABOUT THE TOPIC -

“STUDY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT & AUDITING SERVICES


PROVIDED BY A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT FIRM”

The project is regarding a study of the taxation, auditing service provided by the
chartered accountancy firms to the clients by helping them for the maintenance of
accounts and also guiding the clients ( individuals or firms ) about the income tax
filing services as well conducting statutory audits for the companies for monitoring
their efficiency as well as helping to file the Income tax , Sales Tax, DVAT, VAT for
the firms/companies and income tax , TDS returns for the individuals.

AUDITING:

Auditing refers to a systematic and independent examination of books, accounts,


documents and vouchers of an organization to ascertain how far the financial
statements present a true and fair view of the concern. It also attempts to ensure that
the books of accounts are properly maintained by the concern as required by law.
Auditing has become such an ubiquitous phenomenon in the corporate and the public
sector that academics started identifying an "Audit Society". The auditor perceives
and recognizes the propositions before him/her for examination, obtains evidence,
evaluates the same and formulates an opinion on the basis of his judgment which is
communicated through his audit report. Any subject matter may be audited. Audits
provide third party assurance to various stakeholders that the subject matter is free
from material misstatement. The term is most frequently applied to audits of the
financial information relating to a legal person. Other areas which are commonly
audited include: internal controls, quality management, project management, water
management, and energy conservation.

As a result of an audit, stakeholders may effectively evaluate and improve the


effectiveness of risk management, control, and the governance process over the
subject matter.
KINDS OF AUDITS:

i. STATUTORY AUDIT:

Statutory Audit is compulsory audit prescribed under statute i.e. law. Appointments
of auditors, removal, remuneration, rights, duties, liabilities are governed as per the
Provisions of the respective law applicable to the organization. Scope of the audit
work and all others terms are as laid down by the law. It can be conducted only by a
qualified Chartered Accountant. Statutory audit is conducted after preparation of
final accounts. Statutory auditor has to report whether the balance sheet and profit
and loss A/c are drawn upon conformity with law and whether they show true and fair
view. Statutory auditor has to submit report to the shareholder. His remuneration is
fixed by shareholder.

ii. TAX AUDIT:

Statutory audits as well as the cost audit are taken up as result of specific provisions
contained in the companies Act, 1956. However, a new concept of tax audit has been
evolved lately under the Income Tax Act, 1961. In India, the Indian Income Tax Act,
1961, provides for compulsory audit of accounts of certain assesses whose turnover or
receipts exceed the specified limit. The Income Tax Act has provided for rules and
regulations regarding tax audit. The tax audit can be undertaken by the practicing
member of the institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India. The objective of
such audit is to assist the tax authorities in determination of correct tax liability. The
tax auditor has to report about the transactions which have an effect on fixation of tax
liability.

The tax audit was introduced by section 11 of the Finance Act, 1984, which inserted a
new section 44AB with effect from 1st April, 1985 [Assessment Year 1985-86]. This
section makes it obligatory for a person carrying on business to get his accounts
audited by a chartered accountant, and to furnish by the „specified date‟, the report in
the prescribed form of such audit, if the total sales, turnover or gross receipts in
business in the relevant previous year exceed or exceeds the prescribed limit (Rs.1
Crore w.e.f. A.Y. 2013-14).

o For a professional, the provisions of tax audit become applicable, if his gross receipt
in profession exceeds the prescribed limit (Rs.25 Lakhs w.e.f. A.Y. 2013-14) in the
relevant previous year.

The Tax Audit Reports u/s 44AB has been modified substantially by a notification
issued by Ministry of Finance .The revised audit reports contain an extensive list of
items on which an auditor has to give specific report on .The revised Report places an
onerous responsibility on the auditor to conduct extensive checking of the books of
accounts and other records based on which he shall give his audit report.

Prior to the introduction of this section in the Income Tax Act, the Act provided for
the audit of Public charitable trusts and non-corporate assesse establishing new
industrial, undertakings. Also, the Income Tax authorities where given the discretion
to get the accounts audited under certain specified circumstances under sec 142(2A),
by a Chartered Accountant. The introduction of sec 44 AB widened the scope of audit
under the Income Tax Act considerably.

“ The audit report in prescribed form should be obtained from the auditor and filed
with the Return of Income. The tax auditor cannot accept more than 30 tax audit
assignments in a financial year.”

Any Other Relevant Section This refers to the sections not listed above
under which income may be assessable on
presumptive basis like section 44D and
section 115A(1)(b) and will include any
other section that may be enacted in
future for presumptive taxation

Compulsory Tax Audit v/s 44AB:

Under the above section, tax audit is compulsory for a person carrying on any
business or profession if:

› In the case of business whose total sales turnover or gross receipts exceed
Rs.40,00,000 in the previous year, and
› In the case of a profession, if the gross professional receipts’ in the previous year
exceed Rs.10,00,000.
› In the case of an assessee covered under sections 44AD, 44AE, 44BB or 44BBB.

Special Features of Audit:

a) Audit Procedures: The nature and extent of audit procedures and working papers are
influenced by special features of SE described as above.
b) Fraud and Errors : Auditor should check the following circumstances which indicate
the possibility of fraud and Errors:
 Whether owner needs to manipulate the accounts (as the SE is his only source of
income).
 Whether personal and business transactions are mixed up.
 Whether advisor (lawyer, etc) are changed frequently.
 Whether advisor starts too late or has to be finished in a hurry.
 Whether there are unusual material transactions around year-end.
 Whether there are unusual transactions with group concern.
 Whether excessive fees/ commission is paid.
 Whether there disputes about taxes.
 Whether accounting records are partly missing.
 Whether cash transactions are too many.
 Whether documents for many transactions are inadequate.
 Whether many confirmations for debtors/stock have not been received back.
 Whether owner/senior manager have not been leave for long period.
 Whether working capital is insufficient.
 Whether remarks in earlier audit report are ignored.
 Whether stock records are not kept.
c) Audit Evidence:

i. Adequate audit evidence may not be available. The owner may want that some
transactions are not recorded at all. The internal controls, which should generate the
documents, may be weak.
ii. Auditor should focus on cross-checking of data, quantity reconciliations, analytical
review, external confirmations and review of transactions after year-end.
d) Audit Planning: Audit of a Se may be done by a sole C.A. Hence, audit planning will
be simple.
e) Management Certificate: Auditor should obtain a written certificate from the owner
that the accounting records/ financial statements are complete and accurate.
f) Analytical Review: Evaluating the Gross Profit Ratio over years/trade is often very
helpful in case of a SE.
g) Audit Sampling: In view of the small size, it may be possible to check 100% entries
or at least select a; large sample size for checking.

Suggestions:
After the completion of the study, according to my opinion, there still exists a
possibility that biased approach can be adopted by many CA ‘s performing the tax
audits for the companies. Though, ICAI has laid many stringent and strict rules and
regulations for maintaining the ethics always and there has been heavy emphasis by
them on the authorized audit performance to give their judgments based on the facts
which are there in front of them and to their best knowledge without having any undue
influence of the particular clients for whom they are performing the audit.

Also, the data provided to the CA’s are given by the companies is not ensured that
there is no falsification of the facts mentioned hence, they need to perform internal
audits and the various kinds of audits which are not statutory in nature along with those
which are such as company audit. So that, when the financial statements reaches the
CA is ensured to be true in all sense.
 The Relevant tax authority at all levels should improve the standard of tax audit
employed for effectiveness and efficiency.
 Tax audit should aim at reducing more problems of tax evasion, tax avoidance and
other tax irregularities for standardization.
 The scope of tax audit should be wider in such a way that will ensure proper
submission of accurate and current returns for proper computation.
 The RTA should provide a policy to the public on the awareness of the importance of
tax payment and the effect of non-tax payment, so that the level of compliance would
be high and non-compliance will be low or even none.
 The tax payers should have God fearing and submit the accurate returns of their
operation.
 RTA should also provide a policy that would allow the tax payers to co-operate during
the period of tax audit and at the same time the tax payers should do their best toward
cooperating with the tax audit personnel during the period of the exercise.
 RTA should also improve the standard of tax audit personnel so that they can highly
improve the level of tax compliance by the tax payers.
 There should be effective sanctions by RTA over the non-compliance tax payers with
the tax rules and regulation.
Hence, it is advisable that in spite of indulging in falsifications of the facts, companies
should ensure that they bring forth the right facts and not involved in tax evasion
activities also.

CONCLUSIONS
The primary goal of this project report was to identify the need and the requirement for
a company to conduct tax audits. It showed that unless and until the companies
conducts of their accounts how will the assessor be able to ensure that the figures and
the data mentioned in the financial statements by the companies are actual.

Audit of accounts in the corporate sector was always mandatory by virtue of the provisions
of The Companies Act, 1956. Realizing the importance of audit this requirement has been
extended to non-corporate assesses. Since by virtue of sec 44AB all assesses irrespective of
their nature, if they fulfill the criteria as laid out in the section have to get their accounts
audited.

The intention of bringing in this piece of legislation as observed by the Finance Minister
while presenting the Union Budget for 1984-85 is the compulsory audit is intended to
ensure proper maintenance of books of accounts and other records, in order to reflect the
true income of the tax payer and to facilitate the administration of tax laws by a proper
presentation of the accounts before the tax authorities. This would also save the time of the
Assessing Officers considerably in carrying out the verification.

importance to be considered while preparation of the audit report. The in-depth analysis
of the particular client’s Financial statements helped in analyzing their growth,
performance and any abnormal losses occurrence.

types of advanced auditing which companies can incorporate so that their growth ,
performance is increased. Also, while gathering the information it was observed that
