We can audit the books of accounts for any period. Expiry of time limit given for FURNISHING audit report is not a limiting factor to conduct audit. Once the due date given for FURNISHING audit report is expired, we cannot furnish the same in online and department will not accept offline filing of the same. This will be the issue. Once the assesse received notice for the non-furnishing of audit report, we can submit the same as part of reply to that notice. Penalty MAY be charged. Therefore, we can conduct the audit the books of accounts for the subsequent and furnish the audit report within the due date.
