Audit of books of accounts prepared by Relative

Others 1021 views 2 replies

Dear All,

Can an Auditor audit ceritify / audit the financial statements wherein the underlying books of accounts are maintained or prepared by a relative of the Auditor. The relative of the auditor here in question could be brother, son or daughter in law of the auditor.

Also the scenario here is that the target organization is not a Comapny under the Companies Act, 1956.

Best Regards

Only if its a company there is more serious issue to think about. since its not a corporate if the auditors  independence is not  affected. he can certify the financials.

No he cannot. He if does so, he would be guilty of professional misconduct under the Chartered Accountants Act. There is a specific provision in the second schedule of the above Act prohibiting a CA from expressing his opinion on the financial statements of an enterprise in which he or any of his relatives is interested.
