Hi Shruti,

Statutory Audit is conducted in case of Private and Public Ltd. Companies. It does not apply to Sole Proprietorship and P'ship Firms.  Whereas Pvt. and Public Ltd Companies, Sole Proprietorship and P'ship Firms are subject to Tax Audit if their Turnover (ie. Gross Receipts) exceeds60 lakhs from A.Y 2011-2012 in case of Business. And in case of Tax Audit of Profession, the turnover limit is Rs. 15 lakhs from A.Y 2011-2012 onwards.

Hi Dear

   I want to know the difinition of Associate and Company.

     wat is diffrence b/w these two

Definition of Associate Company :

Firm over which another firm exercises a degree of control which is less than the degree of control exercised over a subsidiary. In accounting, such control is typically taken to mean the ownership of at least 20 percent of voting shares, and some say in the management of the associate firm. Associated companies usually have interlocking directorates to ensure they have common policies and complementary objectives.

Definition of Company :

Company is a voluntary association of persons formed for the purpose of doing business having a distinct name and limited liability. It is a juristic person having a separate legal entity distinct from the members who constitute it, capable of rights and duties of its own and endowed with the potential of perpetual succession. The Companies Act, 1956, states that 'company' includes company formed and registered under the Act or an existing company i .e. a company formed or registered under any of the previous company laws.
