30 June 2011 Audit report is issued by the CA and signed by him. There is no liability of the audit team because CA himself is responsible for his opinion on Financial Statements. This can be verified with the Standard on Auditing viz is using the work of experts and Relying on the work of others

01 July 2011 While drawing the audit programme the name of all concerned people and the team is mentioned. If anything goes wrong all the team members are equally responsible but the C. A. looses is certificate.

If in the court of law it is proved that the mistake is done by the employee he will also be responsible for not bringing the material facts to the knowledge of the C.A signing the Balance Sheet.
