With the end of the 1st (First) Financial Year of Goods & Service Tax Act being implemented in India, we would certainly be trying to avoid errors on the GST Compliance Part. Errors like Non-payment / Short Payment of Output liability, Excess claim of Input Tax Credit (ITC) / Non-reversal of Input Claim, failure (willingly/unwillingly)
The spirit of Audit is losing ground as the time is passing. The general perception that use of technology in banks has eliminated the chance of frauds is just an eye wash. The Nirav Modi case is just a tip of ice berg and day is not far when we will see the whole ice meltdown, if remedial steps are not taken and auditor is not allowed to discharge its responsibility with full independence .

Is the PNB fraud an operational failure or a auditing failure or a regulatory failure is the question (leaving alone the political slugfest) in the people mind and there are lot of claims and counter claims on the basic reasons for such a massive scam to have happended. No bank is without operational risks and […]

In order to ensure independency of auditors, I suggest overall change in the auditor’s appointment procedure so that no one should be able to influence auditors. In today’s modern technological environment, this can be achieved by creating Automated Auditor Appointment Agency (4A).
