Dear all,

What are the areas to be covered while conducting the operational auditing of a company which is a member of stock exchange?
Also can anyone tell me the special techniques to be adopted by an auditor in this regard?

hello sir,i am a CA final student and my attempt is May 13. i am interested i audit more than finance/taxation.At the same time the kind of knowledge MBA offers and the dynamic course pattern excites me.i am in two minds whether to proceed with MBA or CPA after CA.
as there is no proper guidance available for CPA is it possible to pursue CPA along with a full tym MBA course. What is the duration for CPA course? Is CPA really value additive as i get mostly negative replies from my peers when i show interest in that course.
Which US state shd be opted for? if not CPA then which would be the best course in audit stream after CA. I certainly dont mind investing two more years in studying after my CA.

There is a difference between Balance Sheet and Stock given to bank. Is it permissible ?

I belong to a firm having 5 partners. One of my CA wants to know about the celeing limit on tax audit that can be done by a CA. There are 5 partners - Mr.A, Mr.B, Mr.C, Mr.D & Mr.E. Now, overall 225 taxaudits can be done by our firm. I want to know whether Mr. A alone can sign all the 225 tax audits. Hence my question is whether the ceiling is to be seen individually or the firm as a whole?

Sir,

Our office is doing concurrent audit of a nationalized bank. I have a query on voucher checking.

Sometimes I come across check where the date is corrected (more than 3 months old) and signed by the account holder. Sometimes I see either amount in figures or words corrected by the account holder.

Is this valid? This is mostly self cheque or other than Account Payee cheques.
If it is an Account Payee cheque correction is permitted?
