then it is the best way to approach to the income tax department for the copy of the return as well as audited balancesheets and profit and loss and then go for the projected data of the company regarding the six monthly or quarterly .......and other and if not then go for the back of the company data ....it is not possible that company is not having any back of their data .....

first of all it is common that company is neither trade in cas transaction as per my knowledge company always deals by cheque ....if in case there are some cas trasactions are made then transaction above rs.5000 must be stapped voucher then go for them if u find the same....if not then just go for petty cash registers ...company deals in cash for only petty cash trasactions ....let 's have a look on the system or the software what so provides .....okkk...
