What is tax audit and the main points to be noted in a tax audit case

how it will be shown in financial statement ?

Suppose the statutory Auditor resigns during the year ie before the close of the financial year and a new Statutory Auditor is appointed immediately in the special meeting then the new auditor will have to do the audit and give his report -- Right isnt it?

But suppose the original Auditor resigns after the financial year then what is the implication or duty of the new Auditor. Who should complete the audit and sign the Audit report.

Kindly advice

Dear Ravi & Gul Ji Thanks for reply the query. My another query is if a CA conducts more than 30 audits. But He charged fees only from 30 audits whether there will be any breach, under any law.

querry:1) if the assessee co. has received loan from the companies under same management what should be the disclosure of the same in notes to accounts
2) if i use the premises of the co. under same management and pay rent to them then is it considered a related party transaction and how should be its disclosure

I remember a CA can do 30 audits (tax). Whether the limit had raised to 45 audits or not. Pl clarify.

Is it necessary to give details of Expenses such as Salary, Rent etc in the Audit Report by an Auditor?

What is check lists for the audit of Inter Branch Reconciliation?

Presently I am assigned salary audit of IT co, spread across globe, with employees more then 10,000.The present system is that all time logs, leaves,comp offs,bonus,performance incentives etc is done in oracle based prog developed internally. Respective reports r downloaded from the system, checked & fwd to outsourced party.
There are various issues ( other than normal audit) like employees frequently travelling, so in salary giving them per diem / US ,UK salary as applicable, transfer of leaves from onsite ie outside India to India,changing in salary module as per the cost of living index of foreign country etc. The result is that the entire payroll is in mess.
Can anyone provide me some sort of guidance / questionnaire that includes all the basic processes of all salary components, along with their interface with the s/ware system ?
