Introduction
The term audit generally implies auditing of financial statements. In such an Audit, the Auditor provides the expert opinion about the quality of such statements & merely attests the truth of the statements. Audit implies to non-financial matters as well, like audit of operations, efficiency etc. In simple terms, Audit means critical and intelligent examination of facts financial or otherwise, to give in the form of certificate or report an attestation, an expert opinion or advice. As per Auditing and Assurance standard: Basic Principles governing an Audit (AAS 1) published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Audit refers to the independent examination of financial information of any entity, whether profit oriented or not, and irrespective of its size or legal form, when such examination is conducted with a view to express an opinion thereon.
Introduction
1. Sufficiency and relevance of information contained in underlying accounts records and source documents To check the sufficiency and relevance of information contained in the underlying accounting and source records, the auditor examines the existence of internal control and accounting system, and tests them to decide the nature, extent and timing of other audit procedures. 2. Proper disclosure of relevant information in financial statements To determine the proper disclosure of relevant information in financial statements, the auditor compares the transactions, events represented in the source documents and underlying accounting records with the financial statements and checks that they are properly summarized, carried down to the financial statements and adequately disclosed. In other words, the auditor checks that: i. The trial balance reflects the proper summary of balances and transactions, ii. The financial statements reflect the fair disclosure of events and transactions by proper grouping of balances, events, transactions, iii. Information reflected in the financial statements adequately convey the messages required by narration and notes as may be desired by statute, pronouncements or requirement of the context, iv. Judgement of the management is fairly made in matters where they are inherent and implied For example, estimation involved in making a provision, or selection of a particular accounting policy among available alternative policies (like in depreciation methods). The following evaluative factors are considered for selection of audit evidence: 1. Relevance 2. Reliability 3. Sufficiency 4. Cost effectiveness 5. Convenience 6. Preservation 7. Materiality of the assertion to be tested 8. Need for corroboration or resolution of inconsistency 9. Accepted Auditing standards / agreed upon procedures to obtain specified evidence. The auditor obtains sufficient and appropriate audit evidence through the performance of compliance and substantive procedure to enable him to draw reasonable conclusions, to base his opinion on financial information (AAS 1 Basic Principles Governing an Audit). Compliance procedures are tests designed to obtain reasonable assurance that internal controls on which audit reliance is based are in effect i.e., it tests the framework of internal control. Substantive procedures are designed to obtain audit evidence as to the completeness, accuracy and validity of the data produced by the accounting system i.e., it is test about the financial data.
Introduction
The substantive tests are of two types: i. Testing details of transactions and balances ii. Analysis of significant ratios and trends including the resulting enquiry of unusual fluctuation and items. Following are the methods of obtaining audit evidences: Inspection Inspection consists of examination of documents, records or tangible assets. Observation Observation consists of witnessing a process or procedure without actually doing it, by the auditor. If inventory is counted by the clients staff, the auditor may witness physical counting. Inquiry and confirmation Inquiry consists of seeking appropriate information from sources inside or outside the entity, such as operational personnel or management or owners or experts or persons dealing with the entity. It also includes interacting with an electronic information system with a search and query language. And confirmation techniques consist of the response to an inquiry to substantiate the information. For example, the debtors may be requested to confirm the balance as per their records with the balances as per the entitys records; or the consignee may be asked to confirm that the stocks lying with him do belong to the concerned entity. Computation Computation consists of checking the arithmetical accuracy of the source data, or accounting data of the entity. It may include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, checking the carry over, brought down, comparing the totals of two sides, checking the postings, checking extraction, reconciliation etc.
Analytical Review Analytical review consists of Studying significant ratios, and trends Investigating unusual fluctuations and items

The Auditors Edition of Tally.ERP 9 enables the auditor to compile information in comparatively less time with the required accuracy to form his opinion. From the vast data available, the information that requires to be reported can be identified and extracted precisely. Tally.ERP 9 also helps in effectively reducing the time spent on vouching by narrowing down the information to be reported and thereupon the auditor may exercise his judgment on whether the information is to be reported or not. In this Chapter, we shall emphasise on understanding how Tally.ERP 9s Audit features exclusively available for Auditors, can be effectively used to generate information for Tax Audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Let us take the example of M/s. Global Enterprises, (registered & connected for Audit using Tally.NET, as discussed in the earlier chapter) to illustrate the extraction of required information using Tally Auditors Edition. M/s. Global Enterprises, is a private limited company situated at Bangalore, carrying on the business of trading in computers and peripherals, assembling of computers on specific orders, transportation of goods & retail trading of consumer items.
