Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the audit requirements for a US subsidiary owned by an Indian holding company. Generally, a US subsidiary does not require a separate audit in India unless it's for consolidation purposes. If consolidation is needed, the subsidiary's financial statements will be prepared in its functional currency (USD for a US entity) and then translated for the Indian parent's reporting. Compliance and financial year considerations will depend on the specific consolidation needs.

Subsidiary does not have any control over Parent. The parent can audit the subsidiary. The audit is done usually in their own presentation currency and translated while consolidating, 

Parent auditor or the subsidiary Auditor can audit the US subsidiary and the currency in which the subsidiaries deals should be the currency

Holding Company is liable for Subsidiary. Therefore Audit would apply to Subsidary incase of consolidation. 

Consolidated Financial Statement will be prepared in the functional currency of the Company.

Of course, presentation currency and functional can be the same as well in the case of national companies. For a US subsidiary, it’s US dollar separate entity statements. To the Indian parent, it is presented currency and translated to primary functional currency
