LIMITATION OF STUDY
1) Internship time period was very short i.e 50 days.
2) In 50 days it’s not possible to even gain a bird eye view of such vast concepts like taxation
and audit.
3) Scheduled time span was not sufficient to cover all information.
4) As this internship was my first internship, I was unaware of the practicality of audit and
taxation procedures..
5) Each one organization has their own secrecy that is not revealed to others. During
collecting the data they did not disclose much information for asked of confidentiality of
the organization.
6) Besides I have failed to observe application of related laws procedures followed during
audit function.

PRIMARY DATA
Data used in research originally obtained through the direct efforts of the researchers through the time

data collected by working with several audit teams.
discussing with managers,seniors and articled students.

Secondary data analysis can save time that would otherwise be spent collecting data and, particularly
in the case of quantitative data, can provide larger and higher-quality databases that would be
unfeasible for any individual researcher to collect on their own

FINDING OF STUDY
1) Internship at A R AGRAWAL & ASSOCIATES was my first experience. I learnt lot of
new things.
2)Initially I know about audit, taxation, tally accounting.

4)And how to communicate with clients,how to maintain good relationship with clients.
5)How to complete work in short span of time.
6)I got to know about what client think about A R AGRAWAL & ASSOCIATES .
7)One of the major short-comings of audit procedure is the time limit. Client communicate with the
audit firm at the eleventh hour and that creates pressure to complete the audit procedure and make a
complete audit report and submit it to the clients. As a quality assurance of the audit work sometimes
gets hampered.

reason quality of audit work not possible.
