PREFACE
There is a vast difference between theory and practical applicability of auditing
concepts, principles and theories in any industry. This practical training program in
the course is designed with an objective of bridging the gap between the theory and
practical applicability of audit concepts and theories studied during the B. Com(H)
program and their applicability in an industry. I am very fortunate to have an
opportunity to undergo my project in on “Audit Kalyani”. This Project training has
been indeed a great learning experience which has provided a lot of exposure
regarding corporate functional environment in an industry. It has been a great
pleasure for me to do my project work in such an esteemed organization.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this study is to identify changes and trends in the auditing behaviour
of insurers in Kalyani Hospital. This research study is all about the feedback given by
respondent on various services of Kalyani Hospital. During research there were some
criteria of collecting the data from respondents.
This project gives us a detailed idea of auditing behaviour.
By looking at the starting of the project you will find-
Why should one audit?
Audit objectives
Types of audits
Audit process
This project also defines the objective of the study which includes,
To study about audit behaviour
Which group level matters while taking decision
Time period for audit
Factors affecting audit decision
The solution to above objectives is provided through detailed research. After the
theoretical part I have included the research part. A questionnaire has been
constructed for collecting primary data and secondary data through web,
newspapers, magazines, company 7 websites etc. Samples of 70 respondents have
been approached randomly for eliciting information, and few column and pie charts
are used for analysis and interpretation. However, the study is subjected to few
limitations such as time constraints, and the study is done only in Gurugram where
70 respondents were approached which is also a major limitation. This research was
conducted to analyse the audit need and wants and depending upon the needs, how
could we educate them to not just to rely on traditional audit option.
This study has given me a lot of practical knowledge about audit and audit behaviour
towards various services, and I have learnt a lot of things from respondents like
giving proper education to investors on investment products either by campaign or
mass target advertisement or through social media platform like You tube, Facebook
etc., is the way to make them participate in India in the capital market.
CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION
In today’s world academic education is not adequate to enable a student to complete
with confidence and reach his/her goal without having experience with the outside
world. In order to have an idea and gain experiences, the students od Bachelor of
Commerce, Amity University Gurugram, have to undertake two months internship
program at any organization.
As a part of my Summer Internship Program, the two-month internship program gave
me the opportunity to have a practical knowledge on auditing procedure. The
assignment was how the private hospitals perform an audit and also to gain
knowledge on practical experiences on how audit work is performed in hospitals,
corporations, companies and non-profit making organizations. To face much more
complex and challenging business world in the challenging business areas, practical
knowledge is essential to expand our theoretical base.
To gather this practical knowledge, we were forwarded different organisation during
the SIP. As I have an intention to become a chartered accountant, I opted Kalyani
Hospital, Gurugram. This study gave me an opportunity to observe and perform real
world knowledge about audit procedure, which is followed by the hospitals. In the
internship period I could relate the theorical knowledge of auditing to practical
exposure.
The internship program is mandatory requirement for the students who are
graduating under the faculty of Commerce of Amity University, Gurugram.
In the internship program I was engaged with the accounts department for 2 months.
I have learned how the accounts department works and how audit is conducted. Also
learned about the audit procedure of hospitals and how the engagement is done in
case of an annual audit. As a result, I have decided to write a report about the AUDIT
PROCEDURE OF KALYANI HOSPITAL from practical knowledge that I have observed.
1.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To have an overall idea about the Audit Procedure of Kalyani Hospital Pvt.Ltd.
To gain the practical knowledge and experience on how the firm conducts an
audit and how audit work is conducted in hospitals
To identify about how to accumlate and process supportive documents to
make an audit report.
1.2 SCOPE OF STUDY
I have been assigned in Kalyani Hospital Pvt.Ltd. that gave me tremendous scope to
familiarize with the audit procedure of the organisation.
Major parts of scope are point out below:
a) Background of the host organization.
b) Audit procedure, which is followed by the organisation for conducting audit.
1.3 METHODOLOGY
The present study has been made on the basis of both primary and secondary
data.
Throughout the internship period I worked in accounts department and earned
experience. By working as a member of this department, I had opportunity to
learn and gather knowledge, to some extent I had access to see the hospital’s
voucher, ledger, audit report and so forth. I communicated with the employees
and gathered the information.
1.4 SOURCES OF INFORMATION
In order to prepare the assigned project paper I have collected necessary
information from two types of sources as follow :
1.4.1 Primary sources information.
1.4.2 Secondary sources information.
1.4.1 PRIMARY SOURCES INFORMATION
1. I have collected primary information by working with accounts department.
2. Discussing with engagement partner, audit manager and staff.
1.4.2 SECONDARY SOURCES INFORMATION
1. I have also collected secondary information like annual audit report, management
audit report, accounting system and audit work paper.
2. The information was obtained from various cooresponding files of the firm.
LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
The study is being conducted with the objective to make a through study of external
audit procedure. I have availed many facilities and faced some obstacles during my
study. These obstacles may be termed as limitation of the study.
Despite the study has achieved the sole purpose of doing the best work, there were
certain limitations existed during the internship period.
These limitations are as follow:
a) Time frame to perform internship was short.
b) Banks and companies maintain some privacy while giving information, hence
they do not disclose many thing.
c) As internship was the first practical experience, it was not possible for me to
know all and everything of audit procedure.
In spite of, all these limitations, I have tries to put my best efforts as far as
possible.

With the sole aim of providing medical aid to the poor at an affordable cost, and
without compromising on the quality of service, Dr. Parcha Anjani Devi, after quitting
from government service in June 1983, started a 30 bedded maternity home in
rented premises near Vijaya talkies, Hanamkonda. Founded on November 3, 1983,
she named the place as Kalyani Hospital. After 10 years, the hospital got shifted to its
present spacious premises on August 9, 1993.
Kalyani hospital was one of the first few hospitals which acquired an ultrasound
scanner from Holland as early as 1986 when scanning was not yet known to the
people of Warangal. As the days passed by, the hospital was adapting itself to the
changing scenario in the medical field by upgrading its infrastructure and equipment
with latest ones. The hospital acquired a new Laparoscope in December 1998, when
Laparoscopic surgeries were limited to Hyderabad. Dr. A. Sudhakar MS underwent
training in Chennai and started Laparoscopic surgeries in Kalyani Hospital in March
1999. Now the hospital is also serving as a training centre for young surgeons under
the leadership and guidance of Dr. A. Sudhakar. The credit of conducting total knee
joint replacement surgeries in private sector goes to Kalyani Hospital, as Dr Gopala
Krishna Pemmaraju, FRCS (ortho) performed the first surgery on October 5, 2010 on
a patient named Chanda Sudeshna Devi, at a much lesser cost than hospitals in
Hyderabad.
This hospital has also got a neonatal Intensive Care Unit with 10 phototherapy and
baby warmers started by Dr. Pingali Gopal FRCS, who after returning from UK, joined
Kalyani Hospital in 2000 as a full-time consultant. He was also responsible for saving
a premature baby weighing only 600 gm and also performed successful surgeries on
a number of new-borns. The Orthopaedics wing is headed by a young doctor called
Shantan Gujjula who underwent advanced training programme in latest techniques
of Arthroscopy in Pune. In addition to these departments, there are other
specialities like General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatric Surgery,
ENT, General Medicine and Spine Surgery which transformed Kalyani Hospital into a
multi-speciality 100 bedded hospital.

2.3 ABOUT THE CLIENT AND STAFF REVIEWS
2.4 SERVICES PROVIDED
1. Cardiology: Cardiology is the study and treatment of disorders of the heart and
the blood vessels. A person with heart disease or cardiovascular disease may be
referred to a cardiologist. Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine. A
cardiologist is not the same as a cardiac surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the
chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and
treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. The cardiologist will carry out
tests, and they may perform some procedures, such as heart catheterizations,
angioplasty, or inserting a pacemaker. Heart disease relates specifically to the
heart, while cardiovascular disease affects the heart, the blood vessels, or both.
To become a cardiologist in the United States, it is necessary to complete 4 years
of medical school, 3 years of training in internal medicine, and at least 3 years
specializing in cardiology.
Heart diseases that a cardiologist can help with include:
Atherosclerosis
Atrial fibrillation
Arrhythmias
Congenital heart disease
Coronary heart disease
Congestive heart disease
High blood cholesterol and triglycerides
Hypertension
Pericarditis
Ventricular tachycardia
High blood pressure, or hypertension
2. Dentistry: Dentistry, the profession concerned with the prevention
and treatment of oral disease, including diseases of the teeth and supporting
structures and diseases of the soft tissues of the mouth. Dentistry
also encompasses the treatment and correction of malformation of the jaws,
misalignment of the teeth, and birth anomalies of the oral cavity such as cleft
palate. In addition to general practice, dentistry includes many specialties and
subspecialties, including orthodontics and
dental orthopaedics, paediatric, periodontics, prosthodontics, oral and
maxillofacial surgery, oral and maxillofacial pathology, endodontics, public health
dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial radiology. In most countries that recognize
specialties in dentistry, the specialist is limited to practice in the specialty and
cannot carry out the practice of general dentistry. Where the specialty is thus
limited, the general dentist may refer patients, and a specialist’s practice is mainly
on a referral basis. In Britain and in certain provinces in Canada, specialists may
conduct a general practice. In the United States nine specialties are recognized by
the American Dental Association: orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics;
paediatric dentistry; periodontics; prosthodontics; oral and maxillofacial surgery;
oral and maxillofacial pathology; endodontics; public health dentistry; and oral
and maxillofacial radiology.
3. ENT: ENTs Treat the Fundamental Functions of Life
Imagine a singer not being able to sing, or you not being able to hear her beautiful
music. Imagine not being able to smell the earth after a spring rain, or not being able
to taste and enjoy your favourite holiday meal. Imagine not being able to sleep
through the night next to your loved one because they snore. These are some of the
fundamental functions of life that make living so rich and wonderful. Yet when one or
more of these functions no longer work the way they should, living is diminished or
even jeopardized. Hearing and balance, swallowing and speech, breathing and sleep
issues, allergies and sinuses, head and neck cancer, skin disorders, even facial plastic
surgery are just some of the conditions that “ENT” (ear, nose, and throat) specialists
treat.
ENT specialists are not only medical doctors who can treat your sinus headache, your
child’s swimmer’s ear, or your dad’s sleep apnea. They are also surgeons who can
perform extremely delicate operations to restore hearing of the middle ear, open
blocked airways, remove head, neck, and throat cancers, and rebuild these essential
structures. This requires an additional five to eight years of intensive, post-graduate
training beyond medical school.
What Conditions Do ENTs Treat?
General otolaryngologists do not limit their practice to any one portion of the head
and neck, and can treat a variety of conditions. Some ENT specialists, however,
pursue additional training in one of these subspecialty areas:
Ear (otology/neurotology)—Hearing and balance are critical to how we
conduct our daily lives. ENT specialists treat conditions such as ear infection,
hearing loss, dizziness, ringing in the ears (called tinnitus), ear, face, or neck
pain, and more.
Nose (rhinology)—Our noses facilitate breathing by helping to keep out
potentially harmful dirt, allergens, and other agents. In addition to allergies,
ENT specialists treat deviated septum, rhinitis, sinusitis, sinus headaches
and migraines, nasal obstruction and surgery, skull-base tumours including
those inside the cranial cavity, and more.
Throat (laryngology)—Disorders that affect our ability to speak and swallow
properly can have a tremendous impact on our lives and livelihoods. ENT
specialists treat sore throat, hoarseness, gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD), infections, throat tumours, airway and vocal cord disorders, and
more.
Head and Neck/Thyroid—The head and neck include some of our body’s
most vital organs, which can be especially susceptible to tumours and
cancer. In addition to cancers of the head and neck, ENT specialists treat
benign neck masses, thyroid disorders such as benign and malignant
tumours, Grave’s disease, enlarged thyroid glands, parathyroid disease, and
more.
Sleep—Being able to breathe and sleep well through the night has an
impact on the way we experience life and perform our work. ENT specialists
treat sleep-disordered breathing, nasal and airway obstruction, snoring and
sleep apnea, and more.
Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Facial trauma and the resulting
change in appearance caused by an accident, injury, birth defect, or medical
condition side effect can be distressing. ENT specialists in facial plastic
surgery treat cleft palates, drooping eyelids, hair loss, ear deformities, facial
paralysis, trauma reconstruction, head and neck cancer reconstruction, and
cosmetic surgery of the face.
Paediatrics—Children and their developing bodies and senses often need
special attention. ENT specialists treat birth defects of the head and neck,
developmental delays, ear infection, tonsil and adenoid infection, airway
problems, asthma and allergy, and more.
4. Gastro-enterology: Gastroenterology is the study of the normal function and
diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas,
gallbladder, bile ducts and liver. It involves a detailed understanding of the normal
action (physiology) of the gastrointestinal organs including the movement of
material through the stomach and intestine (motility), the digestion and
absorption of nutrients into the body, removal of waste from the system, and the
function of the liver as a digestive organ. It includes common and important
conditions such as colon polyps and cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux
(heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease,
nutritional problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis. In essence,
all normal activity and disease of the digestive organs is part of the study of
Gastroenterology.
The unique training that Gastroenterologists complete provides them with the
ability to provide high quality, comprehensive care for patients with a wide
variety of gastrointestinal ailments. Gastroenterologists perform the bulk of
research involving gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures as well as the
interpretation of results, and are considered experts in the field. Studies have
shown that Gastroenterologists perform higher quality colonoscopy
examinations and comprehensive consultative services when compared to
other physicians. This translates into more accurate detection of polyps and
cancer by colonoscopy when performed by Gastroenterologists, fewer
complications from procedures and fewer days in the hospital for many
gastrointestinal conditions managed by trained gastroenterology specialists. It
is this ability to provide more complete, accurate, and thorough care for
patients with gastrointestinal conditions, which distinguishes
Gastroenterologists from other physicians that provide some similar services.
5. Gynaecology: Gynaecology is the clinical area focused on the health of the
female reproductive system and covers a wide range of different conditions and
age groups.
The common problems include issues related to irregular periods, menstrual pain,
heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic pain, infertility and pelvic
floor problems causing incontinence or prolapse. Beginning from problems in pre-
puberty to post-menopause, we offer care to women through Out Patient, day care
surgery and inpatient services. The Out Patient services are offered at Units 3, 4 and
5 and inpatient care including surgeries at Units 2 and 5 (details on schedules and
appointments can be accessed at the call centre).
Our team of gynaecologists are well-versed in diagnosing and treating a wide range
of medical conditions that affect women. The doctors bring with them expertise,
experience and compassion. They are also well versed with the latest technologies
(surgical and non-surgical) and current trends. Many conditions can be addressed
through medication and lifestyle changes instead of a surgery. Our main aim is to
provide the most up-to-date care in the complete range of gynaecological problems.
This care is provided by a team of specialists who have expertise in their particular
field of interest, and includes doctors and nurses who strive to provide the best care
in a clean and comfortable environment. All doctors are competent and offer
counselling to enable women make the right choices. We also have an active ongoing
programme for research and development.
We undertake consultation, investigation and treatment of a wide range of
gynaecological conditions including:
General gynaecology: including screening for genital cancers, cervical cancer
vaccination, etc.
Emergency gynaecology round-the-clock: ectopic pregnancy, twisted ovarian
cyst, etc.
Reproductive medicine services: ovulation induction and intrauterine
insemination
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Urogynaecology
Preventive gynaecology and Well Woman checks incorporating clinical
examination, Pap smear, laboratory investigations, pelvic ultrasonography and
mammography.
The team specializes in modern minimally invasive techniques for surgery, enabling a
shorter stay in hospital and a quicker recovery to normal activities. The
gynaecological service has well equipped operation theatres in Fernandez Hospital IP
units with the latest anaesthetic and surgical equipment. We have a dedicated post
operative ICU for high-risk cases and well-trained nurses who offer excellent post
operative care.
6. Internal Medicine: Internal medicine or general internal
medicine (in Commonwealth nations) is the medical specialty dealing with the
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of internal diseases. Physicians specializing
in internal medicine are called internists, or physicians (without a modifier) in
Commonwealth nations. Internists are skilled in the management of patients who
have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. Internists care for
hospitalized and ambulatory patients and may play a major role in teaching and
research. Internal medicine and family medicine are often confused as equivalent
in the Commonwealth nations (see below).
Because internal medicine patients are often seriously ill or require complex
investigations, internists do much of their work in hospitals. Internists often have
subspecialty interests in diseases affecting particular organs or organ systems.
Internal medicine is also a specialty within clinical pharmacy and veterinary medicine.
Internal medicine specialists, also known as general internal medicine specialists or
general medicine physicians in Commonwealth countries, are specialist physicians
trained to manage particularly complex or multisystem disease conditions that single-
organ-disease specialists may not be trained to deal with. They may be asked to
tackle undifferentiated presentations that cannot be easily fitted within the expertise
of a single-organ specialty, such as dyspnoea, fatigue, weight loss, chest pain,
confusion or change in conscious state. They may manage serious acute illnesses that
affect multiple organ systems at the same time in a single patient, and they may
manage multiple chronic diseases or "comorbidities" that a single patient may have.
General internal medicine specialists do not provide necessarily less expertise than
single-organ specialists, rather, they are trained for a specific role of caring for
patients with multiple simultaneous problems or complex comorbidities.
Perhaps because it is complex to explain treatment of diseases that are not localised
to a single-organ, there has been confusion about the meaning of internal medicine
and the role of an "internist". Internists are qualified physicians
with postgraduate training in internal medicine and should not be confused with
"interns", who are doctors in their first year of residency training (officially the term
intern is no longer in use). Although internists may act as primary care physicians,
they are not "family physicians", "family practitioners", or "general practitioners", or
"GPs", whose training is not solely concentrated on adults and may
include surgery, obstetrics, and paediatrics. The American College of
Physicians defines internists as "physicians who specialize in the prevention,
detection and treatment of illnesses in adults".
Dialysis Unit: A medical procedure to remove fluid and waste products from the
blood and to correct electrolyte imbalances. This is accomplished using a machine
and a dialyzer, also referred to as an “artificial kidney.” Hemodialysis is used to treat
both acute (temporary) and chronic (permanent) kidney failure.
Peritoneal dialysis:
This is a type of dialysis which uses the peritoneum in a person’s abdomen as the
membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the
blood. It is used to remove excess fluid, correct electrolyte problems, and remove
toxins in those with kidney failure.
Paediatric dialysis:
Haemodialysis is rarely used in neonates and infants due to the risk of major
complications in the very young. Nevertheless, there are clinical situations where
haemodialysis is needed and may be helpful in small children. Recently, new
developments in specialized haemodialysis equipment and specifically trained
personnel have made it possible to implement haemodialysis in neonates and
infants.
Our Dialysis unit currently has 20 machines for the Out Patients and 2
machines for regular dialysis of the inpatients and 2 Hybrid Machines
(Hemodiafiltration -HDF) for the critically ill and those who are
compromised hemodynamically.
We currently do close to 1200 dialysis per month including dialysis in
critical care units.
The water for dialysis is purified by double Reverse Osmosis to enable us
performs Hemodiafiltration with Ultra-pure water by international
standards. We follow stringent quality control measures by monitoring the
nutritional status, AV-fistula penetrance, adequacy of dialysis,
haemoglobin targets, and catheter infection episodes. Currently we have
achieved more than 70% of all the quality indices.
We have dedicated machines and room for Hepatitis-B & C patients. Our
infection control practices are so stringent that we can perhaps at present
boast that our unit has ‘zero’ Hepatitis-C outbreak! And our dialysis
catheter infection episodes are under 1% which is on par with any other
international dialysis unit.
We currently have 2 Dialysis Reprocessing Machines (and in the process of
acquiring the third one) which can reprocess 4 dialyzers at the same time
and gives us vital information about the quality of the dialyzers after each
wash.
All Intensive Care Units (including the General ICU, Paediatric ICU, Cardiac
ICU and Cardio-thoracic ICU) has the facility to dialyse critically ill patients.
We currently have the facility to dialyse even critically ill children with
compromised hemodynamic. GKNMH’s Isolation Unit has the facility to
dialyse patients with viral infections like Hepatitis C, B and other
contagious infections. All Intensive Care Units (including the General ICU,
Paediatric ICU, Cardiac ICU and Cardio-thoracic ICU) has the facility to
dialyse critically ill patients.
We perform regular Plasma Exchange sessions for renal and non-renal
indications like GBS with excellent result and safety. And with our recent
acquisition of the Body Composition Monitor we are able to do
appropriate fluid removal during dialysis and to fix the patients Dry weight
with excellent precision. Our staffs are continually updated with regular
renal nurses training sessions.
We are currently expanding the Dialysis Unit with 10 more machines and
state of the art infrastructure to house them which will be operational in
January 2019.
7. Obstetrician/Gynaecologist: A specialist in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a
medical Doctor with special education and expertise in the field of women’s
health and reproduction. He/she has the appropriate medical, surgical and
obstetrical and gynaecologic knowledge and skills for the prevention, diagnosis
and management of a broad range of conditions affecting women's reproductive
health.
What is Obstetrics?
Obstetrics is the branch of medicine concerned with the treatment of women during
pregnancy, labour, childbirth, and the time after childbirth. Obstetricians work to
ensure that pregnancy culminates in the delivery of a healthy baby, without
impairing the health of the mother. The mother's medical history and health status
are initially evaluated. Physical examination discloses the mother's uterine size and
estimates the length of her pregnancy.
If the obstetrician detects abnormalities, prenatal testing may need to be done on
the fetus. An important modern development has been ultrasonography, which
allows the obstetrician to non-invasively diagnose intra-uterine conditions.
Delivery of the baby is helped by the use of a Friedman's chart, which shows the
patterns of cervical dilation. The care of women during childbirth was originally in the
hands of women (midwifery), but in the 16th century physicians grew interested in
the field.
Of special importance were the invention of the delivery forceps by Peter
Chamberlen in the 17th century and the introduction of anaesthesia in the 19th cent.
The adoption of antiseptic methods according to the theories of Joseph Lister and
Ignaz Semmelweis reduced the incidence of infection in childbirth and made possible
successful caesarean section. Obstetrics is often combined with gynaecology as a
medical specialty.
What is Gynaecology?
Gynaecology is the branch of medicine specializing in the disorders of the female
reproductive system. Modern gynaecology deals with menstrual disorders,
menopause, infectious disease and maldevelopment of the reproductive organs,
disturbances of the sex hormones, benign and malignant tumour formation, and the
prescription of contraceptive devices.
A branch of gynaecology, reproductive medicine, deals with infertility and utilizes
artificial insemination and in-vitro fertilizations, where a human egg is harvested,
fertilized in a test tube, and then implanted into the womb.
Some gynaecologists also practice obstetrics. Surgical gynaecology began to make
progress in the 19th century, when the introduction of anaesthesia and antisepsis
paved the way for many advances.
8. Ophthalmology: Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine dealing with the
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the eye and visual system.
The eye, its surrounding structures and the visual system can be affected by a
number of clinical conditions. Ophthalmology involves diagnosis and therapy of such
conditions, along with microsurgery.
Eye health services are becoming more and more important as the UK population
ages. An ageing population means there are more and more incidences of age-
related diseases of the eye, such as age-related macular degeneration. These eye
diseases can be successfully treated if caught early, and can be managed effectively
with existing treatments and medicines.
Cataracts are the main cause of impaired vision worldwide, and in England and Wales
it is estimated that around 2.5 million people aged 65 or older have some degree of
visual impairment caused by cataracts. Cataract surgery is the second most common
operation performed in the NHS in England – over 300,000 procedures are
performed each year.
Patients and members of the general public can view more information about eye
conditions and treatments in our ‘For Patients‘ section.
If you are in medical training and thinking of choosing ophthalmology as a specialism,
visit our training section or download our short guide to a career in ophthalmology in
the UK.
9. Orthopaedics: Orthopaedic surgery or orthopaedics, is the branch
of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system.
Orthopaedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat
musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative
diseases, infections, tumours, and congenital disorders.
Knee arthroscopy and meniscectomy
Shoulder arthroscopy and decompression
Carpal tunnel release
Knee arthroscopy and chondroplasty
Removal of support implant
Knee arthroscopy and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Knee replacement
Repair of femoral neck fracture
Repair of trochanteric fracture
Debridement of skin/muscle/bone/ fracture
Knee arthroscopy repair of both menisci
Hip replacement
Shoulder arthroscopy/distal clavicle excision
Repair of rotator cuff tendon
Repair fracture of radius (bone)/ulna
Laminectomy
Repair of ankle fracture (bimalleolar type)
Shoulder arthroscopy and debridement
Lumbar spinal fusion
Repair fracture of the distal part of radius
Low back intervertebral disc surgery
Incise finger tendon sheath
Repair of ankle fracture (fibula)
Repair of femoral shaft fracture
Repair of trochanteric fracture
A typical schedule for a practicing orthopaedic surgeon involves 50–55 hours of work
per week divided among clinic, surgery, various administrative duties, and possibly
teaching and/or research if in an academic setting.
10.Pathology Lab: Health care providers may be unfamiliar with the workings of
the pathology laboratory. The delivery of a specimen to the pathology laboratory
initiates a complex series of events resulting in a pathologic
diagnosis/interpretation. The following section reviews the importance and key
objectives in the pathologic evaluation of tissue and provides information on the
types and members of the pathology laboratory.
Types of pathology labs
Hospital labs
Almost all hospitals contain a laboratory to support the clinical services offered at the
hospital. The specific pathology services would include both anatomic (surgical
pathology, cytopathology, autopsy) and clinical (laboratory medicine) pathology at
most hospitals. Most, if not all, inpatient and many outpatients seen by hospital-
affiliated physicians require tests performed by hospital labs.
Reference labs
Reference labs are usually private, commercial facilities that do both high volume and
specialty (high complexity and/or rare) laboratory testing. Most of these tests are
referred from physician’s offices, hospital facilities and other patient care facilities
such as nursing homes. Reference labs, typically located at a site other than the
healthcare facilities, are often used for specialized tests that are ordered only
occasionally or require special equipment for analysis.
Public health labs
Public health laboratories are typically run by state and local health departments to
diagnosis and protect the public from health threats such as outbreaks of infectious
disease. These labs perform tests to monitor the prevalence of certain diseases in the
community which are a public health concern, such as outbreaks of foodborne or
waterborne illnesses or detection of unique infectious agents.
11.Urology: Urology is a part of health care that deals with diseases of the male and
female urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra). It also deals with the
male organs that are able to make babies (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.).
Since health problems in these body parts can happen to everyone, urologic health
is important. Urology is known as a surgical specialty. Besides surgery, a urologist is
a doctor with wisdom of internal medicine, paediatrics, gynaecology and other
parts of health care. This is because a urologist encounters a wide range of clinical
problems. The scope of urology is big and the American Urological Association has
named seven subspecialty parts:
Paediatric Urology (children's urology)
Urologic Oncology (urologic cancers)
Renal (kidney) Transplant
Male Infertility
Calculi (urinary tract stones)
Female Urology
Neurourology (nervous system control of genitourinary organs)
12.Pharmacy: Pharmacy is the clinical health science that links medical
science with chemistry and it is charged with the discovery, production, disposal,
safe and effective use, and control of medications and drugs. The practice of
pharmacy requires excellent knowledge of drugs, their mechanism of action, side
effects, interactions, mobility and toxicity. At the same time, it requires
knowledge of treatment and understanding of the pathological process. Some
specialties of pharmacists, such as that of clinical pharmacists, require other skills,
e.g. knowledge about the acquisition and evaluation of physical and laboratory
data. [1]
The scope of pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such
as compounding and dispensing of medications, and it also includes more modern
services related to health care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for
safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are the
experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize the
use of medication for the benefit of the patients.
An establishment in which pharmacy (in the first sense) is practiced is called
a pharmacy (this term is more common in the United States) or a chemist's (which is
more common in Great Britain, though pharmacy is also used). In the United States
and Canada, drugstores commonly sell medicines, as well as miscellaneous items
such as confectionery, cosmetics, office supplies, toys, hair care products
and magazines and occasionally refreshments and groceries.
In its investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients, the work of the apothecary
may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences
of chemistry and pharmacology, prior to the formulation of the scientific method.
CHAPTER 3: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
3.1 AUDIT PROCEDURE IN INDIA
For any foreign executive operating in India, it is beneficial to have a basic
understanding of audit procedures in the country. We have
previously introduced audit in India for non-auditors. In this article, we provide an
overview of the different types of audits and audit reporting in India.
Audits are generally classified into two types:
Statutory audits; and
Internal audits.
Statutory audits are conducted in order to report the state of a company’s finances
and accounts to the Indian government. Such audits are performed by
qualified auditors who are working as external and independent parties.
The audit report of a statutory audit is made in the form prescribed by the
government department. Internal audits are conducted at the bequest of internal
management in order to check the health of a company’s finances and analyse the
operational efficiency of the organization. Internal audits may be performed by an
independent party or by the company’s own internal staff. As per India’s Companies
Act, 2013, the following companies must have an internal auditing system.
1. Every company whose shares are registered on the stock exchange.
2. Companies whose shares are not listed on the stock exchange and have:
Paid up share capital of Rs 500 million (US$6.7 million) or more during the
preceding financial year;
Turnover of Rs 2 billion (US$26.9 million) or more during the preceding
financial year;
Outstanding loans or borrowings from banks or public financial institutions
exceeding Rs 1 billion (US$13.4 million) or more at any point in time during the
preceding financial year; or
Outstanding deposits of Rs 250 million (US$3.3 million) or more at any point in
time during the preceding financial year.
3. Every private company with:
Turnover of Rs 2 billion (US$26.9 million) or more during the preceding
financial year; or
Outstanding loans or borrowings from banks or public financial institutions
exceeding Rs 1 billion (US$13.4 million) or more at any point in time during the
preceding financial year.
The statutory auditor of the company must report on the internal auditing system of
the company in the audit report.
Statutory audits in India
In India, statutory audits are conducted for each fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) and
not the calendar year. The two most common types of statutory audits in India are:
Tax audits; and
Company audits.
Tax audits
Tax audits are required under Section 44AB of India’s Income Tax Act 1961. This
section mandates that every person whose business turnover exceeds Rs 10 million
(US$ 134,508) in any previous year, and every person working in a profession with
gross receipts exceeding Rs 5 million (US$ 67,254) must have their accounts audited
by an independent chartered accountant. It should be noted that the provision of
tax audits are applicable to everyone, be it an individual, a partnership firm, a
company or any other entity. The tax audit report is to be obtained by September 30
after the end of the previous fiscal year. Non-compliance with the tax audit
provisions may attract a penalty of 0.5 percent of turnover or Rs 100,000 (US$1,345),
whichever is lower. There are no specific rules regarding the appointment or removal
of a tax auditor.
Company audits
The provisions for a company audit are contained in the Companies Act, 2013. Every
company, irrespective of its nature of business or turnover, must have its annual
accounts audited each financial year. For this purpose, the company and its directors
have to first appoint an auditor at the outset.
Thereafter, at each annual general meeting (AGM), an auditor is appointed by the
shareholders of the company who will hold the position from one AGM to the
conclusion of the next AGM. The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017 provides
that auditors can be appointed for a term of five consecutive AGMs and their
appointment need not be ratified in each of the AGMs. Individuals and partnership
firms, auditors cannot be appointed for more than one or two terms, respectively.
After the completion of the term, the auditor must be changed. Only an independent
chartered accountant or a partnership firm of chartered accountants can be
appointed as the auditor of a company. The following persons are specifically
disqualified from becoming an auditor per the Companies Act:
A body corporate;
An officer or employee of the company;
A person who is a partner with an employee of the company or employee of an
employee of the company;
Any person who is indebted to a company for a sum exceeding Rs 1,000
(US$13) or who have guaranteed to the company on behalf of another person
a sum exceeding Rs 1,000 (US$13); or
A person who has held any securities in the company after one year from the
date of commencement of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000.
The auditor is required to prepare the audit report in accordance with
the Company Auditor’s Report Order (CARO), 2016. CARO requires an auditor to
report on various aspects of the company, such as fixed assets, inventories,
internal audit standards, internal controls, statutory dues, among others.
The audit report must be obtained before holding the AGM, which itself should be
held within six months from the end of the financial year.
Audit reporting: Audits are conducted to express a true and fair view of a company’s
financial statements. Therefore, the auditor’s opinion expressed in the ultimate
report is based on the information reviewed and analyzed during the verification of
financial statements. Upon completing the report, the auditor may express one of
the following four opinions:
Unqualified opinion;
Qualified opinion;
Disclaimer of opinion; and
Adverse opinion.
Unqualified opinion: When an independent auditor concludes that the financial
records and statements of a company are present fairly and appropriately, in
accordance with the financial reporting framework, the judgment is called an
unqualified opinion.
An unqualified opinion generally indicates the following points:
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are consistently applied in
the preparation of financial statements;
Financial statements comply with the relevant statutory requirements and
regulations;
There is adequate disclosure of all material matters relevant to the proper
presentation of financial information (subject to statutory requirements); and
If there are any changes in the accounting principles or in the application
method, then it has been properly checked and determined in the financial
statement of the company.
Qualified opinion: An auditor expresses a qualified opinion when according to him or
her, the financial statements of the company – as a whole – are not free from
material misstatements, and the misstatements are material but not pervasive in
nature. The effect of misstatement is material when information with such
misstatement can affect the decisions of the users of the financial statements.
The effect of misstatement is pervasive when such misstatement is not confined to
one element, account or item of financial statement and reflects the widespread
effect of misstatement.
Pervasive effects on the financial statements are those that, in the auditor’s
judgment:
Are not confined to specific elements, accounts or items of the financial
statements;
If so confined, represent or could represent a substantial proportion of the
financial statements; or
In relation to disclosures, are fundamental to users’ understanding of the
financial statements.
Disclaimer of opinion: A disclaimer of opinion is expressed when the possible effect
of a limitation on scope is material and pervasive to the extent that the auditor is
unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. As a result, the auditor is
unable to express an opinion on the financial statements.
Adverse opinion: An adverse opinion is issued when there are limitations on the
scope of the auditor’s work. It is also issued when there is disagreement with
management regarding the acceptability of the accounting policies selected, the
method of their application, or the adequacy of the financial statement disclosure.
When an auditor expresses an adverse opinion, a clear description of all the
substantive reasons is included in the audit report.
3.1.1 GENERAL DEFINATION OF AUDIT PROCESS AND PROCEDURE
Audit procedures are the processes, techniques, and methods that auditors perform
to obtain audit evidence, enabling them to conclude the set audit objective and
express their opinion. Sometimes we call audit procedures audit programs.
These two terms are referring to the same thing.
Auditors normally prepare audit procedures at the planning stages once they
identified audit objectives, audit scope, audit approach, and audit risks.
Auditors design audit procedures to detect all kinds of risks identified and ensure
that the required audit evidence is obtained sufficiently and appropriately.
Normally, audit partners need to approve audit plans and audit procedures before
the audit team performs their testing. This is to make sure that all concerns or risks
are address in the procedures.
Audit procedures might be different from client to client and period to period. This is
because internal control over financial reporting is different from one client to
another, and the control might be change from time to time.
The auditor might need to update audit procedures from time to time even though
its firm or team had audited current financial statements.
Typically, five types of audit procedures normally use by auditors to obtain audit
evidence. Those five audit procedures include Analytical review, inquiry, observation,
inspection, and recalculation.
3.1.2 AUDIT PROCESS
An audit is a report given from the analysis of particular business
operations. Business operations are scrutinized alongside set standards.
These standards are either set by governmental, regulatory bodies, or the
audited business itself. The term audit is derived from Latin? Audire means
to hear. In the past, books would be read out aurally and the auditor would
listen for fraudulent and negligent behavior. A process is a series of tasks,
combined to deliver the required result.
An audit can cover any business operation or subject matter, such as:
Financial
project management
Energy conservation
quality management
3.13 Audit Procedures
Audit procedures are the methods that auditors use for obtaining audit evidence to
form a basis for their opinion on financial statements. Likewise, audit procedures are
performed in order to test various audit assertions related to different class of
transactions and account balances.
Auditors need to perform different types of audit procedures in order to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence. In this case, the procedures that auditors
perform usually depend on the associated risks that auditors face.
Auditors will need to use their professional judgment to design suitable audit
procedures to properly respond to the assessed risks. Also, different types of audit
procedures are usually based on the different types of audit evidence that auditors
seek to obtain.
8 Types of Audit Procedures and Examples
Eight types of audit procedures include:
inquiry
confirmation
inspection of records or documents
inspection of tangible assets
observation
recalculation
re-performance
analytical procedures
Inquiry
Inquiry is the process of asking the clients for an explanation of the process or
transactions related to financial statements. This type of audit procedure usually
involves collecting verbal evidence. Likewise, auditors use inquiry procedure for a
wide range in the audit process.
For example, auditors may inquire clients to understand the business and control
environment; or they may inquire about transactions or balances of financial
statement line items.
Evidence gathered by formal or informal inquiry generally cannot stand alone as
convincing. Hence, auditors usually perform other procedures together with the
inquiry such as inspecting the supporting documents to ensure that the explanation
provided by clients can be relied upon.
Confirmation
Confirmation is similar to the inquiry as it is also the procedure of asking for the
information. However, confirmation is usually done by asking the third party, instead
of the client, to confirm transactions and balances.
This type of audit procedures is usually done through formal written letters. Auditors
usually perform the confirmation procedure for testing account balances such as
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and bank balances, etc.
For example, auditors usually perform confirmation on the client’s bank balances in
order to obtain evidence about its existence as well as rights and obligations
assertion.
Inspection of records or documents
Inspection of records or documents is the process of gathering evidence by
examining the records or documents. This type of audit procedures may be done by
vouching the transaction records to the supporting documents or tracing the
supporting documents to transaction records.
For example, auditor may use the inspection procedure to test the occurrence
assertion of expense transactions by vouching them to receiving reports, supplier’s
invoice and purchase orders.
Audit assertions such as occurrence, accuracy, and cut-off are usually tested by
inspecting the documents to support the accounting transactions in the company’s
records (vouching). And completeness assertion is usually tested by selecting
documents and trace them back to the company’s records (tracing).
Inspection of tangible assets
Inspection of tangible assets is the process of physical examination of the company’s
tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment. This type of audit procedures
can provide the evidence of tangible assets’ existence.
For example, auditors may test the existence assertion of fixed assets by performing
physical inspection of assets that are recorded in the fixed assets register.
Also, it is useful to note that the inspection alone will not provide evidence about the
rights and obligations. For this audit assertion, auditors may need to inspect the legal
documents of the assets.
Observation
Observation is the process that the auditors perform by looking at the procedures
being performed by the client. This type of audit procedures provides evidence that
the client’s procedures actually take place at the time the auditors perform the
observation.
Observation is different from physical examination of assets as the physical
examination of assets is actually the same as counting assets while observation
focuses only on the client’s activities.
For example, the auditor may perform an observation procedure by witnessing the
counting of inventories by the client. This observation procedure is to test the
existence of the client’s inventories counting procedures, not the accuracy of the
client’s inventory.
Recalculation
Recalculation is the process of re-compute the work that the client has already done
to see if there are different results between auditor’s work and the client’s work. This
type of audit procedures is usually used to test the valuation and allocation assertion
of the financial statements.
For example, auditors may perform recalculation on the depreciation of fixed assets
to test their valuation assertion.
Re-performance
Re-performance is the process that auditors independently perform the control
procedures that were originally done as part of the internal control system by the
client. This type of audit procedures is used to test the client’s control procedures.
For example, auditors may use a re-performance audit procedure in the test of
controls on the bank reconciliation procedure that the client already has done.
Analytical procedures
Analytical procedures are the processes of evaluating financial information through
analysis of trend, ratio or relationship between data including both financial and non-
financial data. Auditors usually perform this type of audit procedures by building
their expectations about typical transactions or account balances and comparing
them to the client’s record.
If auditors find that the client’s record is inconsistent with their expectations, they
will investigate further on the variance that exists. The investigation might involve
performing more substantive tests.
Class of transactions Account balances Present and disclosure
Occurrence Existence Occurrence
Completeness Rights and Completeness
Accuracy obligations Classification and
Cut-off Completeness understandability
Classification Valuation and Accuracy and
allocation valuation
For example, auditor may perform the analytical procedure on interest expense
account by multiplying the average interest rate with the average outstanding
balance of the borrowings. Then, the auditor will use the result to compare with the
amount recorded by the client. Any significant difference will be investigated further.
Audit Procedures and Assertions
Audit assertions can provide auditors the clues on potential misstatement that may
occur on the financial statements. Likewise, auditors usually perform different types
of audit procedures in order to test various audit assertions.
Audit assertions that auditors need to test in the audit procedures include:
For example, auditors may perform the audit procedure on fixed assets addition by
vouching a sample of new items in fixed assets register to the supporting documents.
This procedure tests the occurrence assertion of fixed assets addition.
Meanwhile, auditors may test the completeness assertion of fixed assets by
performing audit procedure of:
tracing the physical fixed assets to fixed assets register and
reconciling the fixed assets register to the general ledger
In summary, it is important for auditors to be aware of what types of audit
procedures are suitable for testing different audit assertions. This may also depend
on different levels of assessed risks and quality of audit evidence that auditors seek
to obtain.
Audit Procedures and Evidence
Auditors have the responsibility to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
evidence before they can give an opinion in the audit report. And in order to obtain
sufficient appropriate evidence, auditors need to design suitable audit procedures.
Auditors can gather evidence by using various audit procedures such as examining
various records and supporting documents. These documents and records can be
either from internal or external sources.
However, external sources usually provide a better quality of evidence. They are
more reliable comparing to the internal source of evidence that is provided by the
client.
Audit procedures for obtaining audit evidence are usually performed in the audit
evidence gathering stage that may include both test of controls and substantive
procedures.
In the test of controls, audit procedures are performed to obtain evidence about the
effectiveness of the client’s internal control.
On the other hand, audit procedures in the substantive procedures are performed to
gather evidence about various audit assertions of different classes of transactions
and account balances.
Audit Procedures and Sampling
Audit sampling is the method of audit procedure where auditors test less than 100%
of items within the population of account balance or class of transaction. Auditors
usually use audit sampling techniques when performing the audit examination on the
client’s financial statements.
This is due to it is impractical for auditors to examine all items in the client’s record.
Hence, audit procedures and sampling techniques are usually used together.
Also, it is important that auditors use audit sampling in a way that all sampling units
in the population have a chance of being selected.
When performing audit procedures and sampling, auditors usually need to determine
what is their sample of the records or documents to review. Likewise, auditors may
use different sampling methods to determine their sample.
These audit sampling methods may include:
random selection
systematic selection
monetary unit sampling
haphazard sampling
block selection
3.1.4 Audit Process of India
Auditing or auditing is considered as a system of reviewing the records and
activities of various books of a company. Basically, auditing is the checking and
inspection of accounts of various books, followed by the physical checking of
goods and inventories to ensure that all departments of the company are
following a documented system of recording transactions. Auditing is done to
ascertain the complete accuracy of the financial statements provided by the
company.
An auditor is called an independent professional who is qualified to audit a
company. In accounting, an auditor is someone who is responsible for the
evaluation of the validity and reliability of financial statements of a company or
organization. The term auditor is sometimes synonymous with ‘comptroller’.
Concept and meaning of audit process
The audit process can be defined as a set of processes and tasks to control an
organization. Their aim is to test and prove that the processes are being operated
effectively and a controlled control mechanism is followed. They also aim to
explore opportunities for improvement in the audit process. The different types
of audit processes are:
Preventive audit process
It is a way of estimating problems, it is possible to present a series of guidelines
for this process and the best way is, for example, the responsibilities and
responsibilities inherent to it.
Detective audit process
It is used to find out if there are discrepancies in the process, but without
indicating ways to fix them.
Corrective audit process
In this case, once the audit process detects a problem, it should investigate its
reasons for suggesting ways to fix it.
Objectives of auditing
The basic objective of auditing is to express opinions on financial statements,
profit and loss statements and balance sheets of companies. The objectives of an
audit can be sub-classified into two parts:
Primary objectives.
Subsidiary objectives.
Primary objectives of auditing
The main objectives of the audit are known as the primary objectives of the audit.
They are:
Examining the internal probe system.
Checking the arithmetic accuracy of books of accounts, verifying them,
casting them and balancing them.
To verify the authenticity and validity of the transaction.
To confirm the existence and value of liabilities and assets.
To examine the proper difference between the nature of transactions and
capital and revenue.
Subsidiary objectives of auditing
These are objectives that have been established to help achieve the primary
objectives. They are:
Over and under-valuation of stock.
Identification and prevention of errors.
Detection and prevention of fraud.
Types of audits
Statutory audit
Statutory audits are audits conducted by the Government of India to check the
financial position of a company/organization. For this auditing, qualified auditors
who are acting as independent or external parties perform the statutory audit.
The statutory audit report has been prepared according to the forms and
instructions laid down by the Government of India.
Tax audits
Tax Audit is compulsory for every business with an annual turnover of more than
1 crore and every professional earning more than 50 lakh rupees per year as
required under Section 44AM of the Income Tax Act of India, 1989. After the end
of the last financial year, the tax audit report is to be filed in the scheduled audit
until September 30. If the required person or business fails to file that report,
they face a fine equal to 0.5 percent turnover.
Company audits
The details and provisions of the company audit are detailed in the Companies
Act, 2013. It says that every company, irrespective of its annual turnover or type
of business, has to have its financial accounts audited by a qualified professional
(auditor).
As per company laws, you can appoint an auditor for a period of 6 annual general
meetings. If you are a partnership / sole proprietorship, you cannot have the
same auditor for more than two terms.
Internal audit
A company or business may conduct an internal audit to check and verify the
financial health of a company. Internal audit is performed by the company’s
internal employees or an independent contractor.
Types of internal audit
Compliance audit
There are several types of compliance that a company or any other type of
business has to follow to stay in business. A compliance audit is done to
determine whether the company/partnership / sole proprietorship is following
the rules and regulations established by the government.
Investigative auditing
An investigative audit takes place when there is some suspicious activity in the
finances of a business entity. In other words, if there is something wrong with the
financial statements of the business it is done. Another reason for conducting
exploratory audits is to assess the risk factors of the business.
Operational audit
Operational audit is done to evaluate the efficiency of a particular aspect,
function or department of a business. This does not always require financial data,
but information about whether departments/functions/aspects are performing
their tasks properly.
Financial audit
A financial audit is done to check the fairness, accuracy and reliability of financial
data. There are many companies that misrepresent their financial information to
get better PR. Financial auditing ensures that this type of fraud strategy does not
occur. Because accuracy and fairness are required, independent contractors work
to conduct unbiased financial auditing.
Management audit
The management audit is conducted by independent contractors who provide
insight into the management structure of the business. Similar to an operational
audit, management audit is done to check the performance of the business as a
whole.
Role of auditors
An auditor is called a professional who evaluates and accumulates evidence to
report on the degree of a company’s claim that they comply with an established
set of norms or standards procedures.
A skilled auditor must possess certain qualities in addition to his professional
qualifications. He needs to conduct auditing effectively and efficiently.
Section 139 to 148 of The Companies Act 2013 deals with the provisions of
Auditors, Auditing and Accounting.
Eligibility and qualification of auditors
A person is called an auditor of a company if he is a chartered accountant. When
a firm is appointed as the auditor of a company, only persons who are chartered
accountants act and sign on behalf of the firm.
Disqualification of auditors
A person is disqualified from the position of an auditor if he is:
Any officer or employee of the company.
A person whose relative is a director of the company or is in the
employment of a director or principal managerial personnel of the
company.
A person who has been convicted by the court for the offence of fraud and
the term of 10 years has not expired from the date of such sentence.
Removal of auditors
The company must obtain prior approval from the National Company Law
Tribunal (NCLT). A form of ADT-2 is to be filed within 30 days after the
board resolution is passed. After the approval of the central government,
the company will pass a special resolution at the general meeting within 60
days.
If the auditor resigns himself, a form ADT-3 has to be filled and submitted
to the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
Powers of auditors
There are certain powers of the Auditors as follows:
Right to Access – The Auditor’s right to access includes:
o Transaction by book entries.
o Loan and Advance made shown as deposits.
o Proper security for loan and advances.
o Sale of Assets in Securities in a loan.
o Personal expenses change to a revenue account.
Auditor to sign audit reports.
Right to remuneration.

Consent of Auditor (while making prospectus etc.)
Duties of an auditor
There are following duties of an auditor:
Auditor’s duty to make reports which state:
o He has sought and obtained all information and explanation.
o Whether proper books of account have been kept.
o Whether a company’s balance sheet and profit and loss account are
in agreement with books of account.
Form a negative opinion where necessary: There is a high degree of
assurance and reliability in the auditor’s report as it includes the auditor’s
opinion on the financial statements. Where the auditor feels that the
statements do not reflect a true and fair view of the financial condition of
the business, he is also entitled to form an adverse opinion on the same.
Auditing standards: Auditing standards are issued by the Central
Government in consultation with the National Financial Reporting
Authority. These standards assist the auditor to perform his audit duties
with relevant ease and accuracy. It is the duty of the auditor to follow the
standards while performing his duties as this increases his efficiency
comparatively.
Fraud reporting: Generally, while performing their duties, the auditor may
have some doubts regarding fraud occurring within the company, certain
situations where the financial statements and figures contained therein are
not included. When he finds himself in such situations, he must
immediately report the matter to the central government and in the
manner prescribed by the act.
Audit and auditing standards in India
To ensure that the information in the financial statements is of high quality and
acceptable worldwide, the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board under the
Council of Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAI) has formulated certain
standards. These conform to international standards issued by the International
Auditing and Assurance Board (IAASB). Standards issued by IAASB include:
Standard of Quality Control (SQCs) – For all services under engagement
standards. These standards apply to all auditing firms that conduct audits
and review historical financial information and assurance and related
service attachments.
Standards on Auditing (SAs) -For an audit of historical financial information.
These apply whenever an independent audit is conducted.
Standards on Review Engagements (SREs) – To review historical financial
information.
Standards on Assurance Engagements (SAE) – For assurances other than
audit and review of financial information.
Standards on Related Services (SRSs) – For all attachments regarding the
application of agreed procedures for information, compilation attachments
and other related services.

Impact of Covid-19 on audit of financial statements
Covid-19 (Coronavirus) is having a worldwide impact which in turn has affected
individuals, families, businesses, governments in such a deeply negative way that
its effect is not yet known to all. Covid-19 has an impact on every part of society,
which may include social, economic or geographic and every affected area and it
will take time and cost to return to normal. As we speak, the virus is spreading
and we are at such a turn, that we ourselves do not know how deep we will go.
The Covid-19 outbreak has implications for areas such as accounting and auditing.
Areas of constraint are:
Cash management
The quarantine situation of Covid-19 poses the biggest challenge of the cash
management cycle for each business, resulting in loan instalments that cannot be
repaid, concern over the submission of data required by lenders, inventions of
working capital requirements (stock) Accounting, and payment of salaries which
in turn affects the production cycle.
Statutory dues
Cash flow issues will also affect the submission of statutory dues such as
provident funds, employee provident funds, and goods and services tax. This may
result in adverse opinions by auditors in their audit report.
Presentation of financial statements
COVID 19 is a period of significant economic, political and technological change.
Expectations from all organizations are increasing rapidly. This is as true for the
professional services sector as for the companies we work with. The audit
profession is under much scrutiny and has been the subject of much commentary
and challenge in the public domain, including being in the news headlines, not
always for positive reasons. All stakeholders involved in the audit process must
contribute to ensure that the auditor’s rules and standards are understood by the
general public as there is still a gap to be audited and what an audit can achieve.
Audit firms are working on enhancing audit quality and increasing use of
technology, with core training.
The technology will enable auditors to audit 100% of the company’s available
information and provide more benchmarking and market analysis. However,
technology will be unable to change the critical decision element of an audit,
leaving one key element to the professional skills and competence of more senior
members of audit firms. This means that the traditional model has come to an
end and auditors will have to build their capabilities to a more varied, exciting
and rewarding career.
Conclusion
No doubt, auditing is a tool to give a true and fair picture of a company’s finances,
but either way, it has always fallen short. With the extension of deadlines
provided by regulators related to financial results, submission of Corporate
Governance Reports, GST Returns etc. will help resolve issues to some extent,
though some relief in terms of extension of time by financial institutions Banks
will be provided. NBFCs should be provided for non-performing non-asset
valuations, which will provide some relief to companies and lenders in times of
liquidity crisis.
3.1.5 AUDIT PROCESS
This is a procedure that organizations should use more often because an audit
process is quite effective in finding bottlenecks and wastes, helping to continuously
improve productivity in an organization.
Definition
A set of actions and procedures to control an organization. They aim to test and
prove that processes are being conducted effectively and follow due control
mechanisms. They also aim to detect opportunities for improvement in the audit
process.
Objectives
Every organization has strategic objectives to achieve.
One of the objectives of the audit process is to verify that all company processes are
aligned with this strategic vision and that they deliver the value that internal
customers need and external ones want.
You could say this is the central objective of the audit process, but it’s necessary to
list others:
Evaluate the operational efficiency of processes
Verify that the process chain provides protection for company assets
Find out if your company information and data is secure and reliable
Evaluate processes to determine if they’re reliable
Check for incorrect procedures during processes
Report detected failures and non-conformities
Provide recommendations for appropriate corrections
See more: Compliance: Less risk and more transparency
Types of audit processes
As we warned at the beginning, audit processes don’t always have audit motivations,
here are their three main types:
1- Preventive Audit Process:
This is a way of anticipating problems, presenting a series of guidelines for the
process to take place in the best possible way and indicating, for example, the
attributions and responsibilities inherent to it.
2- Detective Audit Process:
Used to detect if there are anomalies in the process, but without pointing out ways
to correct them.
3- Corrective Audit Process:
In this case, once the audit process detects a problem, it should investigate its
causes to suggest ways to correct it.
Check also: Governance, risk and compliance: All there is to know
Best audit process practices
In order to assist those engaged in an audit process, or who will be submitted to it,
we have listed a number of best practices that you should follow:
The auditor should be aware of the process as a whole, as well as of the other
processes of the company, and identify the importance of each one, its phases
and correlations with these other processes.
The auditor must make sure that their tests cover the audited process in its
entirety.
It’s necessary to develop a macro process vision and show how each adopted
procedure interferes with it.
You should document the process through a flow of procedures and controls.
Use generated documentation to verify that the routines practiced in the
company match what the auditor defined in the process flow.
The auditor should indicate points where possible process improvements can
be developed.
They may also highlight processes that he believes should be the subject of
further audits.
The audit process should be extremely clear about the risks of each process
and whether the controls developed are sufficient to cover those risks.

Income Leakage:
This is the most important and sensitive part of concurrent audit. In most of the
banks there are some income leakages and we have to find out that.
Generally, income leakage arises due to following reasons and we have to look
that:
1. Undercharge of processing fee, upfront fee and other charges by the bank during
disbursement of loans.
2. Wrong feeding of interest rates in the system.
3. Wrong calculation of profit in forex transaction etc.
To overcome these types of revenue loss of bank
As an auditor →
Go through the calculation and genuineness of the different charges. .
We have to generate various MIS reports from the system and analyze them.
If bank undercharges the fees then it lost its income & the performance of the bank
looks very weak which leads to downfall in market share.
On the other hand, if bank does overcharge of such things then the false
performance of bank is shown and customer may be misguided due to this.
It is the prima facial duty of auditor to shoe the true and fair performance of the
clients.
