What is " SELF AUDIT "? I think it is most popular in Bank / Branches

Suppose firm named ABC (partnership firm)
has following palses of bussiness
1)Ahmedabad (H.O.)
2)Vadodara (Branch)
3)Bihar(Branch)
4)Jaipur(Branch)
then for the purpose of tax and other statutory audit how the audit will be conducted.i.e.Seperate audit for seperate branch and H.O. as per the criteria specified (like turnover) in the Act or we go by cosolidation of all the accounts and conduct audit only of H.O.

What would be the situation in case of company.(i.e. statutory audit under the Companies Act,1956.

What is the main approach to the internal audit.What care must be taken in case of the internal Audit.

In what circumtanses the bank is requiered to get it's accounts audited and under what stutute i.e. under the companies Act. or Banking Regulation Act. or R.B.I. Rule.
( Provided bank is a)Partnership firm
b)Company (Indian)
c)Company (Foreign)

1) Suppose person carried on more than one business then whether turnover from all this bussiness should be calculated seperately or otherwise.

2) Suppose Person engage himself in both i.e. a) carried on bussiness
b) Profession
then what would be for tax audit Criteria.
i.e. whether seperately or otherwise.

Please support your answer.

What is the meaning of turnover in case of tax audit.
1) In case of person carry on bussiness if his turnover or sales or gross receipts exceeds Rs.40,00,000.

Now, my questions is,
1)What is meaning of gross receipts in this criteria ( other than in case of profession.)
2)What is meaning of turnover/sales i.e.what to include in sales amount.

Suppose, sales bill is like this
Net Amount 10,000.oo
Excise (16%) 1,600.00
Cess 48.oo
Vat(4%) 465.00
Total 12,114.00

then what amount will be included.

3)Whether sale of scrap , Fixed assets will be considered for this purpose.

Please Support your answer.
