I heard that from this year, the account has to be audited if the business profit or loss is more than 8 percent. This means that anyone who is dealing in FnO and has profit or loss more than 8 % (which will be the case for most of FnO traders), the account needs to be audited by a CA.
Any idea if this is correct ? Usually how much would CA charge for FnO Profit and Loss statements auditing ?
Thanks !
Auditing is compulsory only if your turnover is more then 1 crore.
The amount of profit or loss has no bearing on it.
To calculate F&O turnover, the value of the stocks is not considered, only the nett profit or loss.
For example in trade A you earned 10,000 and in Trade B you lost 5,000, your turnover will be 15,000/-
So you have to maintain a table for your entire trades based on FIFO and then calculate your turnover
Let me know if you need any clarification
