As a non corporte client (partnership firm) of an auditor,
we have assigned the task of filing GST annual return.
But
the Auditor, who is in practice, mooted the staff member to pay the liabilities, (where the staff member has the transaction limit to spend on behalf of the company), without concurring the liabilities or sharing the working papers either to the management or to the finance and accounts team.
later, we forced the auditors to share the working papers and It is find that the working papers is incorrect, and returns prepared by Auditors were with incorrect information, which is not relevant to us. (we find that it is not a oversignt mistake, because the turnover information is correct but other informations are wrong), it is presumed that he has fabricated the figs or the returns.
we have raised the issue before the auditor to show cause, by a reminder in writing (by mail), where the auditor fails to submit his reply nor allowing to file the return. (despite we have honoured the demanded audit fee), and proved his deficiency of service by not filing the return before the due date.
please advise us,
- how to go about this?
- Should we make a complaint at the GST Department
- How to sue the auditor
- how to face before the GST Department.

Consult a local senior CA or CS and remove the auditor and ask him to pay the amount unnecessarily paid. CA or CS may solve your problem.

The facts, as posted, lack clarity. What is the relevance of the term 'mooted'?
