    What is meant by reporting period. Wheather the period in which Auditor issue the Audit report( signing period) or the period for which auditor issue the audit report(financial year of company).Please clarify

  2. Bhagavatula ASHOK says:

    ADT 2 mandates Auditor to report specifird data.pertaining to reporting period 2018-’19. Does It imply a company whose Audit Report has been issued FOR THE YEAR 2018-’19. Is this interpretation appropriate ? Needs validation.
