Can the auditor of the parent company act as the auditor of one of the subsidiary company too?

No the auditor from parent company can not audit the subsidiary as there will be conflict of interest.  

Regarda,

Madia

Hi Madia,

Could you point out to which CAS would this pertain to?

Thanks

I do believe so. As he is the auditor of the parent company, he can act as auditor of the subsidiary if either the parent company delegates him/her to audit the subsidiary or the subsidiary engages him/her
