WHAT IS AUDIT?

Definition:
“An audit is the independent examination of financial information
of any entity, whether profit oriented or not, and irrespective of its size, or legal
form, when such and examination is conducted with a view to expressing and
opinion thereon.”
“The most general definition of an audit is an evaluation of a
person, organization, system, process, project or product”.
Audits are performed to ascertain the Validity; the term validity
(also called logical truth, analytic truth, or necessary truth) as it occurs in logic
refers generally to a property of particular statements and deductive arguments.
And also provide an assessment of a system's internal control. The
goal of an audit is to the person / organization / system etc. under evaluation
based on work done on a test basis. Due to practical constraints, an audit seeks
to provide only reasonable assurance that the statements are free from material
error. Hence, statistical sampling is often adopted in audits.

The word audit has two meanings. The first is the security audit, whereby a
consulting firm comes in and validates a company’s security profile. This is
similar to how accounting firms review a company's books. The second term is
infosec specific, and means an "auditing" subsystem that monitors actions within
the system. For example, it may keep a record of everyone who logs onto a
system. Such a record is known as an audit trail.

1
 A person trained and qualified to better individuals through
auditing is called an auditor. Auditor is defined as “one who listens,” from the
Latin audire, meaning “to hear or listen.”

To audit means to go through the process of examining and

verifying a company's financial records and supporting documents.

An audit is an IRS examination of an individual or corporation's tax

return, to verify its accuracy. There are three types of audits: correspondence
audits (the IRS mails a request for additional information), office audits (an
interview is conducted at a local IRS office), and field audits (an interview is
conducted at a taxpayer's place of business, for a corporate tax return). Since
there is always the chance of an audit, experts recommend keeping good records
to support all the information in a return. The reason detailed and accurate
bookkeeping is so important is that the burden of proof is on the filer, not the
IRS.

2
Types of Audit
Quality Audits:
Quality audits are performed to verify the effectiveness of a
quality management system. This is part of certifications such as ISO 9001.
Financial audits:
Financial audits, a set of financial statements are said to be true
and fair when they are free of material misstatements - a concept influenced by
both quantitative and qualitative factors.
Internal audit:
This type of audit is conducted by the company itself to keep
check and balance on company performance. It is up to company either he can
conduct internal audit or not.

Types of Auditors:
There are two types of auditors:

Internal Auditors:
Are employees of a company hired to assess and evaluate its
system of internal control. To maintain independence, they present their reports
directly to the Board of Directors or to Top Management. They provide
functional operation to the concern. Internal auditors are employees of the
company so that they can easily find out the frauds and any mishappening.

External Auditors:
Are independent staffs assigned by an auditing firm to assess and
evaluate financial statements of their clients or to perform other agreed upon
evaluations.

What is Chartered Accountant?

Chartered Accountant:

and results in a prestigious qualification. After completing their training, young
C.A.s can go on to build successful careers either within the profession itself or
outside it in senior management in the worlds of industry, commerce or financial

What Do Chartered Accountants Do?

Chartered Accountants are to be found at the heart of nearly all

successful organizations. Their primary role is to evaluate the financial
implications of key decisions and to ensure effective financial management.

them the organizations. Different types of documents are used for stock taking

Some Pictures Affecting the Performance:

During my stay in Mian Naim Asif Rashid & co chartered

Accountants I have very good time. I have learnt much about the professional
field. The whole of the staff is very cooperative. They make me learn more and
more. The plus points of the organization are :-
• Rules and regulation for all.
• Comfortable environment.
In spite of all these facts some are the dark sides of the picture.
• Strict rules irritating the worker
• Rude behavior.
• Lack of communication between upper and lower management.
• No proper attention on complaints.

These all things are frustrating the employees and affecting their
performance which is ultimately go against the organization goals.
Being a part of the organization part I would like to recommend
some suggestion which in my opinion is helpful in solving problems and
increasing the efficiency of the employees.
