Dear Friend,

Auditing is concerned with examination of financial statements except some cases. Every one has their own way to do the tasks. But to have an uniformity in our Professional Service AAS has been emerged.

In my View do the following things that is more than enough:

a) Before doing the audit have a sound knowledge in AAS & AS ( The entire tasks will e covered in this )

b) You should be familiar or atleast track the accounting system of that client and you shoul be a master in Fiancial Accounting

c) Most of the Firms do Tax Audit with Statutory Audit to the clients.

d) Tax Audit is concerned you should be aware of the facts to be reported in Form 3CD..

If you are perfect in above things then you are an eligle person to conduct an Audit.
