Companies Law

May 3, 2024

Professional Misconduct by CA - Liability of the Engagement Partner (EP) with Audit Firm - The NFRA found that the auditors did not adequately report the non-recognition of liabilities classified as NPAs, which led to an understatement of liabilities and losses. This was a serious lapse as it misrepresented the financial position of the company. The auditors failed to perform adequate tests and provide sufficient evidence regarding their evaluation of the company's ability to continue as a going concern despite several negative financial indicators. - Based on the findings, the NFRA imposed substantial penalties on the audit firm and the individual auditor involved. - The individual auditor was also barred from auditing financial statements or conducting internal audits for any company for two years.
