Hi there,
Here is my answer to the question asked.
Comfort letter :
A comfort letter is a written statement issued by an outside auditor, stating that there is no inaccurate or misleading information in the prospectus of an entity that is issuing securities.
Though an audit is not performed, the comfort letter is essentially stating that audited financial statements would not differ materially from those appearing in the prospectus. Comfort letters are most commonly issued as part of an initial public offering.
A comfort letter only contains an opinion; it is not an assurance or guarantee that the entity being reported upon will remain financially viable. Comfort Letters are also issued in other situations, such as in relation to the issuance of a loan or mortgage.

Audit :
Definition: Audit is the examination or
inspection of various books of accounts by an auditor followed by
physical checking of inventory to make sure that all departments
are following documented system of recording transactions. It is
done to ascertain the accuracy of financial statements provided by
the organisation.
Description: Audit can be done internally by
employees or heads of a particular department and externally by an
outside firm or an independent auditor. The idea is to check and
verify the accounts by an independent authority to ensure that all
books of accounts are done in a fair manner and there is no
misrepresentation or fraud that is being conducted.
All the public listed firms have to get their accounts audited by
an independent auditor before they declare their results for any
quarter.
Who can perform an audit? In India, chartered accountants from ICAI
or The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India can do
independent audits of any organisation. CPA or Certified Public
Accountant conducts audits in USA.
There are four main steps in the auditing process. The first one is
to define the auditor’s role and the terms of engagement which is
usually in the form of a letter which is duly signed by the
client.
The second step is to plan the audit which would include details of
deadlines and the departments the auditor would cover. Is it a
single department or whole organisation which the auditor would be
covering. The audit could last a day or even a week depending upon
the nature of the audit.
The next important step is compiling the information from the
audit. When an auditor audits the accounts or inspects key
financial statements of a company, the findings are usually put out
in a report or compiled in a systematic manner.
The last and most important element of an audit is reporting the
result. The results are documented in the auditor’s report.
