Soumya (Proprietor) (69 Points)
29 November 2010I am on the verge of getting a Tax Audit assigment of a sole proprietor. The sole proprietor was engaging the services of a CA Earlier. He wishes to appoint me by replacing the earlier C.A.
My query is, whether I need to get a NOC from the earlier CA. If so, is there any format laid down by the institute for this.
pls note the client is a sole proprietor ship business.
Many thanks for the same
Regards
Soumya

As per my view that I read in CA Act....
Yes you mast have NOC.,
You have to intimate that previous auditor and get ensure that he has no objection on your appointment and the reason why that earlier CA is not so appointed...

Since you are the previous auditors, I request you to kindly let me know whether you have any professional or other objection in accepting the aforesaid appointment or if there is any other reason for not accepting the audit.

This is the simpal format for informing the previous tax auditor regarding that u are accepting the Tax Audit of the So & So client if he is having any professional objection then he will have to inform you that u should not accept the Audit because of the professional objection. Otherwise mere informing is enough of the accepting the audit.
You have have communicate to him before accepting the assignment not after that otherwise it will amount to professional misconduct on your part.
You just send a letter attached herewith to the CA & wait for reasonable time ( say 1 week ) & sign the audit report.
By the way due date of submitting the return of the Individual whose Accounts are required to be audited has gone it was 15 Oct( Extended) You are accepting Now not very clear......
