I am a Chartered Accountant having qualified in May 1986 and an Associate member of ICAI since then. I did my Industrial Training with one of the leading global / foreign banks in India. Post qualification, I decided to join Banking sector and have since thereafter worked for over 27 years with some of the leading foreign / large private sector banks in India at senior management levels. I have recently left banking services w.e.f February 2013 with a view to create my own set up as Financial Advisor including practice as Chartered Accountant. I have also applied for COP w.e.f April 2013 and already proposed to start a proprietary firm for practising as Chartered Accountant. I am also in the process of selection of few semi qualified CAs to assist me in this venture. Few of my banking colleagues (who may not CA but have good experience in Banking) are also willing to join me.

Being part of Corporate Banking world, I have business association with good number of large/mid market corporate clients/promoters in India. Given my varied practical experience in Banking for almost 3 decades, I am very confident to handle Bank audit. I intend to apply for my empanelment for Bank audit during forthcoming process.

I understand the criteria for empanelment includes period for which the audit firm is in existence, number of partners in the firm etc etc. Given my strong background in Banking, can you please suggest me how should I proceed for my empanelment for Bank Audit during current year ??

Your guidance in the matter will be highly appreciated.

Best regards and Thanks.

Dear Sir,

From this year CAs are required to upload tax audit reports with digital signature on income tax website.

My query is whether all tax audit reports are required to be uploaded or only tax audit reports of clients having turnover more than rs. 1 crore are required to be uploaded?

In other words, if client wants to get his tax audit done u/s 44AD because his profit is less than 8%, then in such cases are we required to upload such tax audit reports?

audit in my company is going to be started in few days please someone tell what things should i should take utmost care of such as
1) i have taken the print of bank statement as on 31.3.13 and prepared the BRS as on 31.3.13
2)arranged all the files and vouchers.


please revert back as to what other arrangements to be made of documents which an auditor may ask for at the time of conducting his audit of my company's books.


please someone revert back as soon as possible.
It's urgent.

What is Recurring Audit and what is its purpose??

Under what head should the expenses reimbursed to professionals providing service to the company be classified. For example, if a professional incurs some expenses to travel and then he claims separate reimbursement, how is that to be classified - as travelling expense of the company or should it be classified as professional fees/remuneration to professional?

Sir, please let me know if a revised tax audit return for the AY 12-13 can be filed now ?
Should we have to file the return with the audit report afresh as revised citing reasons for revised ? pls clarify.

Sir,
while doing audit of a firm i observered that the Firm is issuing its Sale Invoice for the material that it is rejecting against its own purchases.And by this it is increasing its sales unnecessarily. In my opinion it is not a valid treatment of Purchase / Sales return.
What are your opinions on this point ?.
