What are the different types of audits?
Internal audits
Internal audits evaluate internal controls, procedures, adherence to the law,
and asset protection. Businesses may find the internal audit process
valuable for assessing risk and locating practical solutions to boost
performance.
Individuals working for the organization conduct internal audits. Even when
these people aren't impartial toward the company, they must be neutral
toward the operations they're auditing.
External audit
External audits are done by a third party, such as a company of independent
CPAs. After the audit, submitted a report to shareholders and other
stakeholders outside the firm. While the subject matter of external audits
may vary (financial statements, the use of federal money, etc.), the
fundamental advantage is the impartiality and independence of the audit
team. Increases the trust that shareholders and other external stakeholders
have in the auditing procedure and report.
Tax Audit Report
Using particular "Audit Forms" prescribed by the income tax department, the
individual performing the audit must record their findings in a report.
Forms 3CA and 3CB are mandated by Section 44AB. The auditor must also
provide a form 3CD in addition to these two forms. When an auditor checks
the financial records of taxpayers who are the subject of tax audits, they
should do so using Forms 3CB and 3CD. According to the Income Tax Act's
regulations, a Chartered Accountant must provide an audit report in the
required format.
