13. Role of Audit in Relation to Cases of Fraud and Corruption Responsibility for prevention & detection of fraud and error rests primarily with the management of audited entity Audit, however,evaluate and report on the adequacy of systems in place with the auditee to prevent, detect, respond and take remedial measure in relation to fraud & corruption. This is integral part of all kinds of audits.

14. Role of Audit … Fraud examination is a part of normal auditing procedure. Audit findings include the cases of presumptive and suspected frauds when the evidence is clear. Audit team put red flags which needs further investigations by appropriate agencies. Audit teams do not make legal determinations of whether fraud has actually occurred.

15. Role of Audit … Audit teams maintain a attitude of professional scepticism (questioning mind and critical assessment of audit evidence) throughout the audit. Audit teams carry out independent risk assessment and prioritise audit planning. Based on risk assessment, they design the audit objectives & audit procedures so as to secure reasonable assurance of detecting material irregularities arising from fraud and corruption.

16. Role of Audit … SAI India has a dedicated training institute as Centre of Excellence in ‘Audit of Fraud, Fraud Detection Techniques and Forensic Audit’ It acts as a repository of information on the subject through developing quality reading material, case studies research papers.
