Publisher's Synopsis
About the book
With the Companies Act, 2013 operationalised for more than 4 years, financial reporting is a significant area for the corporates, professional, finance directors in India. The auditor's responsibilities have become onerous and extended as compared to the erstwhile legislation. The Companies Amendment Act, 2017, which received Presidential assent on 3rd January 2018 addresses difficulties in implementation, facilitates ease of doing business, helps achieving better harmonisation with other statutes and regulations made thereunder, and rectifies inconsistencies in the 2013 Act.
This book focuses on key implementation issues with regard to financial reporting and audit requirements for companies, as per the revised provisions of the 2013 Act and the provisions of the Companies Amendment Act, 2017.
All relevant rules, notifications, circulars, forms, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs have been analysed and discussed in the relevant topics covered by the publication in a lucid style.
