Ledger scrutiny is the scrutiny of different ledger accounts done by auditors to identify any abnormal item of transaction,e.g. overspending under a particular head of account in comparison to the earlier years transactions.
The scrutiny of returns had been a regular measure to check tax evasion since long. The collection of information for the purpose of making enquiries in the course of such scrutiny assessments is as much important as the assessment proceedings itself.
