Na i did not give he is responsible.
I justified by saying may be got expert opinion or management representation and quoted kingston cotton mill case where judge said "auditors are entitled to believe the tried and trusted people of management provided there was no suspicion"

for that 8 mark questions there are two parts.
1. the company can contend that auditors are responsible owing to the materiality of the items involved.
2. the auditor can prove he is not guilty by reasons that are mentions in sa-230 audit documentation, by showing his sincerity and that the mistakes are buried and cannot be found in normal course of the audit.

chetan gud question. but simple logic. as he has paid back the debt, he will be independent for the first part of the year also. |

no no its not the point of just repayment there!!! But as on the date he should not be indebted to the company. I hope this point make a right answer.
