specific needs.
Because it establishes a one-to-one relationship with each client therefore firm is able to
offer timely, individual advice on how to improve business or personal finances. As

1.6.1 Audit Department

1.6.1.1 Book Keeping & Maintenance of Accounting Records
Firm can relieve client and his staff of an enormous burden by taking care of all its
bookkeeping and accounting needs, including the preparation of its annual accounts.
Firm’s first step is to work with client so it can gain a full understanding of his business.
Firm then tailor its approach to client requirements so that it can provide exactly that
which service client need.
Besides clients core bookkeeping, firm can also maintain his sales tax records, prepare
and audit his funds, and take on short-term projects to relieve client staff of any
temporary overload.
But perhaps the most important part of this service is the preparation of management
accounts. These are vital to the continued success of any business. Firm discuss client
requirements with him and provide him with tailored information and constructive advice
on a regular basis.

1.6.1.2 Audit Services

Though business owners traditionally regard the annual audit and preparation of annual
accounts as a cost centre - a necessary evil that adds no value to the business - firm strive
to transform it into a profit centre.
Besides helping them meet the statutory requirements, firm also take the opportunity to
conduct a review of client financial and management systems. This can often result in
identifying potential problem areas and recommending opportunities to improve their
business performance. Firm discuss the problems and opportunities with them and help
them implement any agreed solutions.

Firm provide following audit services to its clients.
 Special Audits
 Statutory Audits
 Internal Audits
 Income Tax Audits
 Sales Tax Audits
 Share transfer Audits
 Corporate Investigations
1.6.2 Tax Department

1.2.2.1 Corporate Taxation
Corporation tax represents a substantial part of a business trading costs. Moreover, the
increased reporting obligations, robust investigation policies on the part of the tax
authorities, and harsher penalties for non-compliance mean that an undue amount of
client time and resources can be taken up collecting revenue for the Government.
Firm offer a range of services to help business minimize his corporate tax exposure and
relieve him from the administrative burden of complying with tax legislation. These
include:

 Determining the most tax effective structure for client business

 Corporate tax compliance, reporting and filling of tax returns.
 Taking full advantage of tax opportunities and relief
 Withholding tax management and related compliance.
 Managing post-tax-return correspondence, representation before tax assessment
authorities including appeals and references.
 Acting on client behalf in discussions with the tax authorities
1.6.2.2 Partnership & Partners Taxation

Firm provide tax and financial planning for partners of professional and partnership
firms, as well as advice on partnership agreements and regulatory issues.
Partnerships can be difficult structures to manage, since the owners also act as
employees. Because partners are concentrating on giving excellent service to their clients,
they may end up neglecting their own future. Firm is conscious of these dangers and can
offer experience and objectivity to help partners develop planning methods so that their
partnership runs on a sound commercial basis.
Sometimes decisions have to be taken which involve conflicts of interest between
partners and in these situations, firm can act as external facilitators. And if mergers are
contemplated, firm will help client to strike the best deal.
The tax treatment of professional partnerships can be very complex. It is particularly
important to take into account the individual tax situation of each of the partners. Firm
can help them through this minefield and ensure that there are no nasty shocks at the end
of the tax year.
1.6.2.3 Personal Taxation

Complete range of services for income tax as well as wealth tax including tax planning
strategy, computation and filing of tax returns, finalization of assessments,
representations, objections, appeals and keeping clients updated on on-going
developments.
Firm really understand the personal tax issues of affecting locals and foreign nationals
living or working in the Pakistan and can advise them on how to avoid paying

unnecessary tax. Firm also help temporary Pakistan residents, and give tax advice to
Pakistani nationals who are going abroad, either permanently or temporarily.
Firm also encourage them to consider lifetime tax planning, focusing on the different
opportunities available to them at various stages of their personal and professional life,
such as starting their career, family commitments, planning for retirement or passing on
their wealth or business to others.
1.6.2.4 Self Assessments

The term 'self assessment' is proving to be one of the great misnomers of all time. Many
taxpayers struggle to understand the complex tax returns and complete them correctly.
The constant stream of changes to tax legislation means not only that the returns are
becoming even more difficult to understand but also that taxpayers risk incurring more
penalties through failing to complete their returns on time or correctly.
Firm can save a lot of time, worry, and money of taxpayer by handling their self
assessment for them. Firm will do all the necessary computations, complete their return,
and even offer advice on how they can minimize their tax liability.
Firm can act as taxpayer agent, dealing directly with the Inland Revenue on his behalf
and, should taxpayer be selected for a self assessment enquiry, act for him at any
meetings.

structuring the sales tax system, implementation of sales tax system, filing of sales tax
returns, undertaking representations, objections & appeals and obtaining exemptions &
concessions wherever applicable

 GST registration, enrolment or enlistment and related legal formalities.
 GST compliance, reporting and filling of tax returns, representation in adjudication
proceedings including appeals and references.

1.6.3 Consultancy Department

1.6.3.1 Feasibilities
Firm provide its best professional competence for Pre-feasibility studies which are well
researched yet generic due diligence reports that facilitate potential entrepreneurs in
project identification for investment.
The main objective of the pre-feasibility studies is to provide information about
investment opportunities to the different scale enterprises. A typical pre-feasibility study
provides:
 Comprehensive information for investment opportunity in a business.
 Specific information regarding different business areas like, marketing, technical,
industrial information etc. for the existing entrepreneurs to improve their exiting
setup.
 Project investment information and financial projections to support viability of the
business.
1.6.3.2 Forensic
There is a good chance that at some point in future a person in his business or personal
life will find himself involved in a legal dispute over money. It could be any of the
following:
 Contractual dispute
 Contested business loss
 Professional negligence claim
 Tax enquiry
 Fraud investigation
In such cases firm can work and interpret the facts of the case in a professional manner.
Often our involvement at an early stage can result in the matter being settled out of court.
These services can considerably strengthen client’s case and cut his litigation costs.

prepare with the help of seniors, I propose following audit plan;
2.1.1.4 Audit Plan

The audit team should consist of three people, two of which do vouching in first three
days and hand over the list of observed deficiencies to the accounts department and
managing partners so that the can remove and overcome these deficiencies in future. The
format of audit observation sheet is attached as appendix-1. Reconcile entries in the cash
book with vouchers and check posting in the ledger along with mentioning folio numbers
and prepare ledgers for nominal accounts within four days. After completing the above
said tasks prepare trial balance from the ledger, in order to prepare financial statement.

a copy of ledger from the particular party. After that he should prepare movement
schedule of raw material (attached as appendix-2) by inspecting store inward and outward

meeting is scheduled with the management to review to audit findings and answers
the quires found during the audit.

working papers.
3. Make a selection of fixed assets held by client at year end and physically inspect
them to ensure that:
