04 February 2018 Thnx sir. Sir when a balance sheet is already Audited I mean when ABS is prepared, then why we need tax audit report? And if Tax audit is compulsory for certain businesses, then why we should first prepare ABS ,why can't we leave ABS and rather prepare tax audit directly which will save time. Pls enlighten.

04 February 2018 Balance sheet audit is based on companies Act requirements.
The tax audit is requirement of Income tax Act.
Tax working starts from balance sheet audit profit.
Depreciation as per compnies Act and income tax differs hence profit has to be reworked and certain disallowance like income and penalty has to be made under tax working.
