There is no statutory requirement for audit of a partnership firm.
A CA firm is required to appoint a tax auditor only if under 44AB is applicable.
Section 44AB use the word "accountant" which, though not defined in the Act as such, finds reference in Form 3CA/3CB as "Chartered accountant within the meaning of the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 (38 of 1949)"
However, form 3CA/3CB also allow audit by:
(i) any person who, in relation to any State, is, by virtue of the provisions of sub-section (2) of section 226 of the
Companies Act, 1956 (1 of 1956), entitled to be appointed to act as an auditor of companies registered in that State; or
(ii) any person who is, by virtue of any other law, entitled to audit the accounts of the assessee for the relevant previous
year.
