What is an audit for tax purposes?

The idea to conduct a Tax audit was first introduced in 1984 under Indian tax law. It is designed to verify the compliance with the various provisions of the law and is performed through a chartered accountant alone.

The taxpayers that are required to undergo tax audits are required to have the accounts of their business, i.e. the balance sheet and profit and loss account reviewed by a certified chartered accountant.

In addition an properly conducted audit for tax purpose assures that the accounts books as well as other documents are appropriately managed by the tax payer, and that they are accurate in revealing the income of the taxpayer and that deduction claims are filed in a timely manner.

What forms do I need to use the same method?

The chartered accountant performing the tax audit will report hisobservations, findings and observations, etc. In forms of audit reports. Form Nos. 3CA/3CB as well as 3CD.

The format for the audit report as per section 44AB of the law forms Form. 3CB. The prescribed details are required to be recorded on Form 3CB. 3CD.
