1. Major failure of BK&D CPAs are as follows:-
a. Portions of the report by PCAOB may describe deficiencies or potential deficiencies in the
systems, policies, procedures, practices, or conduct of the firm that is the subject of this report.
The express inclusion of certain deficiencies and potential deficiencies, however, should not be
construed to support any negative inference that any other aspect of the firm\'s systems, policies,
procedures, practices, or conduct is approved or condoned by the Board or judged by the Board
to comply with laws, rules, and professional standards.
b. Any references in this report to violations or potential violations of law, rules, or professional
standards should be understood in the supervisory context in which this report was prepared.
Any such references are not a result of an adversarial adjudicative process and do not constitute
conclusive findings of fact or of violations for purposes of imposing legal liability. Similarly, any
description herein of a firm\'s cooperation in addressing issues constructively should not be
construed, and is not construed by the Board, as an admission, for purposes of potential legal
liability, of any violation.
c. Board inspections encompass, among other things, whether the firm has failed to identify
financial statement misstatements, including failures to comply with Securities and Exchange
Commission (\"SEC\" or \"Commission\") disclosure requirements, in its audits of financial
statements. This report\'s descriptions of any such auditing failures necessarily involve
descriptions of the apparent misstatements or disclosure departures. The Board, however, has no
authority to prescribe the form or content of an issuer\'s financial statements. That authority, and
the authority to make binding determinations concerning whether an issuer\'s financial
statements are misstated or fail to comply with Commission disclosure requirements, rests with
the Commission. Any description, in this report, of financial statement misstatements or failures
to comply with Commission disclosure requirements should not be understood as an indication
that the Commission has considered or made any determination regarding these issues unless
otherwise expressly stated.
2. Analytical procedures are one of many financial audit processes which help an auditor
understand the client\'s business and changes in the business, and to identify potentialrisk areas
to plan other audit procedures.
The objective of analytical procedures used in the overall review stage
of the audit is to assist the auditor in assessing the conclusions reached and in
the evaluation of the overall financial statement presentation. A wide variety of
analytical procedures may be useful for this purpose. The overall review would
generally include reading the financial statements and notes and considering
(a) the adequacy of evidence gathered in response to unusual or unexpected
balances identified in planning the audit or in the c.

Audit of Internal Financial Control over Financial Reporting (IFCR) A complet...Taufir Alam
Introduction to the Presentation on internal financial control over financial reporting_a complete guide
The Companies Act, 2013 has introduced some new requirements relating to audits and reporting by the statutory auditors of companies.
One of these requirements is given under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act which requires the statutory auditor to state in his audit report whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
The section has cast onerous responsibilities on the statutory auditors because reporting on internal financial controls is not covered under the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI.
Since the concept of reporting on internal financial controls is still new in India this new reporting requirement has thrown up many challenges for the members.
To help the members properly understand and perform the various aspects of this reporting responsibility, the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has brought out this Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting.
The Guidance Note covers aspects such as Scope of reporting on internal financial controls under Companies Act 2013, essential components of internal controls, Technical guidance on the audit of Internal Financial Controls, Implementation guidance on the audit of Internal Financial Controls.
I have presented the above guidance note into a presentation that will have a complete guide for those who are planning to go for Audit of Internal financial control over financial reporting. this presentation will cover all the relevant aspects and also provide the standard operation process for the efficient conduct of the IFCR Audit. You don't need to read the complete Guidance note.
This is a step by step plan of the auditing work to be performed, specifying the procedure to be followed in the verification of each item in the financial statements, and giving the estimated time required’.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
