Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the audit of a share trader who also runs a cash-only teaching business with no records. The key question is whether to present a combined balance sheet and P&L, or to report only the share trading activities. The consensus is that auditors must audit all businesses, even those with incomplete records. Suggestions include seeking payment details from payees to reconstruct teaching business income and expenses.

Combined Income and expenses have to be reported and the auditor will audit all the businesses carried out by the taxpayer. 

But as per the info trader doesn't have records of teaching bussiness as all the business receipts and expenses are done in cash.
Try to find out details of payment received by him from PAYEE(they might have record, like External confirmation )
