The ICAI had pursuant to the issuance of the Revised SA 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements, prescribed a revised format of the auditor’s report on financial statements. As per SA 700 an auditor shall modify the opinion in the audit report when:
The Council was of the view that the provisions of sections 143(12) of the Companies Act 2013 applied to the auditors appointed under the Companies Act 2013 to audit the financial statements for the year beginning on or after 1st April 2014. As a corollary, the requirements of these sections and related Rules would not apply to audits of financial statements of the periods beginning on or before 31st March 2014,
The Council of the view that such quarterly/ half yearly audits are not carried out pursuant to the requirements of the Companies Act 2013 (rather to meet the specific requirements of the auditee company, for example, to comply with the listing agreement requirements) as the latter only envisages audit of the annual financial statements.
