It is not required to sign audit report each partner equally.
one partner may make sign more than 45 Tax Audit report on the behalf of another partner of the firm.

sorry santosh singh, but the ceiling limit on tax audit is based on individual C.A. not the firm as a whole.

When any partner signs the tax audit report of the entity, whose audit is conducted by some other partner of the firm, the principal of agency comes int picture. But no where in law, it is mentioned that each partner should sign 45 tax audits. Only the words undertake, conduct and accept has been used.
Further the assignment is being taken up by the Firm and not the individual partners, so any partner can sign on behalf of the firm.
So in my opinion any single partner can sign more than 45 audits on behalf of other partners of the firm
