Objectives of Financial Audit Financial audit is primarily concerned with expression of audit opinion on a set of financial statements. It includes: examination and evaluation of financial records and expression of opinions on financial statements; audit of financial systems and transactions including an evaluation of compliance with applicable statutes and regulations which affect the accuracy and completeness of accounting records; and audit of internal control and internal audit functions that assist in safeguarding assets and resources and assure the accuracy and completeness of accounting records.

Nature of Assurance by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India The audit opinion provides reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement and irregularity. An understanding of the terms "reasonable assurance" and "material" is central to an understanding of the audit and the audit opinion. Audit can give an unqualified certificate on the financial statements under audit as long as the level of error is not judged to be material. The accepted level of error for any particular account is determined in accordance with guidelines for materiality to be laid down by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.

Where we stand now Certificate on correctness of accounts of the State Governments, Union Government True and fair view on accounts of Government companies, corporations, boards, autonomous bodies

Roadmap for the future Shift from cash to accrual Shift from correctness to ‘true and fair’ view
