Dear All,

Can an Auditor audit ceritify / audit the financial statements wherein the underlying books of accounts are maintained or prepared by a relative of the Auditor. The relative of the auditor here in question could be brother, son or daughter in law of the auditor.

Also the scenario here is that the target organization is not a Comapny under the Companies Act, 1956.

Best Regards
