You have to give whatever working asked by statutory auditor. After verifying the workings the auditor quote the figure in the report.

Tax Audit Report is filed by CA and departments requires information about an organisation from a CA. Point 34(a) of 3CD which required detailed working of TDS she is also asking for that from us to quote in 3CD is she right in asking this info from client itself????????

Yes she is right in asking this from client but she has to verify it and then only it can be quoted in 3CD.

I have also done audits while i was working in a CA firm although and each and every point in 3CD or the working required for something else by done by our me and my seniors itself we never ask any working from client to be quoted in such statutory forms...

Need of CA is for checking the correctness of data provided by you and reporting. If the data is voluminous how can she be able to prepare the statements. You need to help your auditor in preparing statements. In our company having voluminous data help the auditors in preparing the statements by the company.

In small companies CA will prepare and add it in their report. In case of big companies we should help the auditors in preparing statements.

Surprisingly we ourselves prepare the Balance Sheet they just put an stamp on it.
Further i was ready to assist her about how to retrieve information from software related to related party transactions.
She is an alumni of E & Y and using such words:-
"If the work is so simple then please do yourself and give me information i have more experience in audit than you i am a CA"
I am also a CA may be i couldn't get such high exposure liker her in E&Y but such kind of harsh words dosen't seems professional.

It is the responsibility of the company to prepare financial statements including balance sheet. The responsibility of auditor is only reporting on the financial statements.

Thanks and what about Notes to accounts and CARO report and 3cd these too are to be prepared by client itself???????

Notes to accounts to be prepared by the company. CARO report and 3CD to be prepared by the auditor. But we should help the auditor in providing information/workings for the preparation of reports.
