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:

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.
