Sr.No Particulars
1 Audit- Definition and meaning
1.1 Definition
As per the ICAI, “An audit is independent examination of financial information
of any entity, whether profit oriented or not, and irrespective of its size or legal
form, when such an examination is conducted with a view to expressing an opinion
thereon.”
1.2 Elaboration:
The person conducting this task should take care to ensure that financial
statements would not mislead anybody. This he can do honestly by
satisfying himself that:
1.2.1 the accounts have been drawn up with reference to entries in the books of
account
1.2.2 the entries in the books of account are adequately supported by sufficient
and appropriate evidence
1.2.3 none of the entries in the books of account has been omitted in the process
of compilation and nothing which is not in the books of account has found
place in the statements
1.2.4 the information conveyed by the statements is clear and unambiguous
1.2.5 the financial statement amounts are properly classified, described and
disclosed in conformity with accounting standards
1.2.6 the statement of accounts present a true and fair picture of the operational
results and of the assets and liabilities

INTER C.A. – AUDIT
2 Objectives of Audit:
As per SA – 200 “Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor”, in
conducting an audit of financial statements, the overall objectives of the
auditor are:
(a) To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, thereby enabling the auditor to express an opinion on
whether the financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework; and
(b) To report on the financial statements, and communicate as required
by the SAs, in accordance with the auditor’s findings.
3 Scope of Audit
Scope means areas and extent to be covered by an auditor while conducting
audit of financial statements. Scope of audit is governed by following
factors:
A. Applicable law and regulation
B. The ICAI Pronouncements E.g. Standards on Auditing issued by Auditing
and Assurance Standard Board.
C. The Terms of Engagement i.e. terms of contract between auditor and
the management.
Note : The terms of engagement cannot, however, restrict the scope of an audit in
relation to matters which are prescribed by legislation or by the pronouncements
of the Institute.
The following points merit consideration in regard to scope of audit:
3.1 The audit should be organized to cover adequately all aspects of the
enterprise.
3.2. The auditor should be reasonably satisfied as to whether the information
contained is reliable and sufficient so as to form the basis for the preparation
of the financial statements.S/he can assess the same by:
(a) making a study and evaluation of accounting systems and internal
controls and
(b) carrying out such other tests, enquiries and other verification
procedures as he considers appropriate.
3.3. The auditor should also decide whether the relevant information is properly
subject to statutory requirements.

6.3 Audited statements of account are helpful in settling liability for taxes,
negotiating loans and for determining the purchase consideration for a
business.
6.4 These are also useful for settling trade disputes for higher wages or bonus
as well as claims in respect of damage suffered by property, by fire or some
other calamity.
6.5 An audit can also help in the detection of wastages and losses to show the
different ways by which these might be checked, especially those that occur
due to the absence or inadequacy of internal checks or internal control
measures.
6.6 Audit ascertains whether the necessary books of account and allied records
have been properly kept and helps the client in making good deficiencies or
inadequacies in this respect.
6.7 As an appraisal function, audit reviews the existence and operations of
various controls in the organisations and reports weaknesses, inadequacies,
etc., in them.
6.8 Audited accounts are of great help in the settlement of accounts at the
time of admission or death of partner.
6.9 Government may require audited and certified statement before it gives
assistance or issues a license for a particular trade
7 Relationship of Auditing with other discipline
7.1 Auditing and Accounting: It has been pointed out earlier that both accounting
and auditing are closely related with each other as auditing reviews the
financial statements which are nothing but a result of the overall accounting
process
7.2 Auditing and Law: The relationship between auditing and law is very close
one.
Auditing involves examination of various transactions from the view point
of whether or not
these have been properly entered into
7.3 Auditing and Economics: As, it is well known, accounting is concerned with
the accumulation and presentation of data relating to economic activity.
From the auditing view point, the auditors are more concerned with Micro
economics rather than with the Macro economics

8.5.4 Familiarity threats are self-evident, and occur when auditors form
relationships with the client where they end up being too sympathetic to
the client’s interests.
This can occur in many ways: (i) close relative of the audit team working in
a senior position in the client company, (ii) former partner of the audit firm
being a director or senior employee of the client etc.
8.5.5 Intimidation threats, which occur when auditors are deterred from acting
objectively with an adequate degree of professional skepticism.
Basically, these could happen because of threat of replacement over
disagreements with the application of accounting principles, or pressure to
disproportionately reduce work in response to reduced audit fees etc.
8.5.6 SAFEGUARDS OF INDEPENDENCE
The Chartered Accountant has a responsibility to remain independent
by taking into account the context in which they practice, the threats to
independence and the safeguards available to eliminate the threats.
The following are the guiding principles in this regard:-
1. For the public to have confidence in the quality of audit, it is essential
that auditors should always be and appears to be independent of the
entities that they are auditing.
2. In the case of audit, the key fundamental principles are integrity,
objectivity and professional scepticism, which necessarily require the
auditor to be independent.
3. Before taking on any work, an auditor must conscientiously consider
whether it involves threats to his independence.
4. When such threats exist, the auditor should either desist from the task
or put in place safeguards that eliminate them.
5. If the auditor is unable to fully implement credible and adequate
safeguards, then he must not accept the work.

PROFESSIONAL SKEPTICISM
Professional skepticism refers to an attitude that includes a questioning mind being alert
to conditions which may indicate possible misstatement due to error of fraud, and a
critical assessment of audit evidence.
The auditor shall plan and perform an audit with professional skepticism recognising
that circumstances may exist that cause the financial statements to materially
misstated.
Professional skepticism includes being alert to, for example:
Audit evidence that contradicts other audit evidence obtained.
Information that brings into question the reliability of documents and responses
to inquiries to be used as audit evidence.
Conditions that may indicate possible fraud.
Circumstances that suggest the need for audit procedures in addition to those
required by the SAs.
Maintaining professional skepticism throughout the audit is necessary if the auditor
is to reduce the risks of:
Overlooking unusual circumstances.
Over generalising when drawing conclusions from audit observations.
Using inappropriate assumptions in determining the nature, timing, and extent of
the audit procedures and evaluating the results thereof.

therefore obtain absolute assurance that the financial statements are free from
material misstatement due to fraud or error.

INTER C.A. – AUDIT
13. INCORRECT => The profit or loss can be significantly affected by adopting different
accounting policies. Thus disclosure of accounting policies followed becomes
necessary, so that readers of financial statements can properly understand the view
presented.
14. INCORRECT => If all three fundamental accounting assumptions are being followed in
preparation & presentation of financial statements, specific disclosure is not needed.
Thus, disclosure is needed only in case of non- compliance with the fundamental
accounting assumption.
15. CORRECT: An audit is an independent examination of financial information of any
entity, whether profit oriented or not, and irrespective of its size or legal form, when
such an examination is conducted with a view to expressing an opinion thereon. It
is clear that the basic objective of auditing, i.e., expression of opinion on financial
statements does not change with reference to nature, size or form of an entity.
16. CORRECT: As per SA 200 “Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the
Conduct of an Audit in Accordance with Standards on Auditing”, the purpose of
an audit is to enhance the degree of confidence of intended users in the financial
statements. This is achieved by the expression of an opinion by the auditor on whether
the financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
an applicable financial reporting framework.
17. CORRECT: As per SA 200 “Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the
Conduct of an Audit in Accordance with Standards on Auditing”, the auditor is not
expected to, and cannot, reduce audit risk to zero and cannot therefore obtain absolute
assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement due to
fraud or error. This is because there are inherent limitations of an audit, which result
in most of the audit evidence on which the auditor draws conclusions and bases the
auditor’s opinion being persuasive rather than conclusive.
18. INCORRECT, as per AS 1, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”, specific disclosure of
the fundamental accounting assumption is required if they are not followed in
statements.
19. Incorrect: As per SA 210 “Agreeing the Terms of Audit Engagements”, the Audit
engagement letter is sent by the auditor to his client.
