I. The Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, at its 329th Adjourned meeting, held on 03rd and 04th January, 2014 at New Delhi noted that the illustrative formats of the independent auditor’s report (in respect of a Company) as given in SA 700, SA 705 and SA 706 contain the references to “Profit and Loss Account” at various places. The term was being used since the Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 also used this term.
The Council of the Institute, at its 329th (Adjourned) meeting held on 03rd and 04th January 2014 at New Delhi noted that reporting by the statutory auditors of the Company on clause (3)(bb) of section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956 is a legal requirement in cases where the company had appointed separate branch auditor/s.
The Council, accordingly, decided to amend paragraph 80 of the Statement on CARO, 2003 as follows: 80. There may be situations where one or more of the clauses are not applicable. For example, the requirement regarding internal audit system does not apply in case of all the companies.

Since the emergence of various corporate scandals in India over the past few years, there has been much attention and debate on the role of Company’s Directors. There has been a lot of focus on independent Directors. A Director must be acted honestly and with due diligence.
Statutory Auditor’s Reporting Responsibilities in Respect of Depositing of Cess Pursuant to Clause 4(ix)(a) of the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003and Section 227(3)(g) of the Companies Act, 1956. The Council of the Institute has decided to modify the auditor’s reporting responsibilities in respect of the cess payable by a company under section 441A of the Companies Act, 1956. Pursuant to this decision, paragraph 63(g) of the Statement on Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 stands amended as follows:
ICAI Council at its 312th meeting had noted that till date the Central Government had not notified the effective date of Section 441A of the Companies Act, 1956. Consequently, no Rules thereunder had been prescribed by the Central Government. The Council, therefore, has decided that in view of the aforementioned situation, the statuary auditor need not report in respect of cess payable under Section 441A of the Companies Act, 1956 as envisaged under paragraph 63(g) of the Statement on the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 issued by the Institute, relating to clause 4(ix)(a) of the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003.
In terms of the existing guidelines, an audit firm can take up statutory central audit of one PSB, four private sector banks and four foreign banks simultaneously each year.
