answered 12 hrs ago

Ma'am...i saw the earlier queries addresses where it is said that no service can be rendered by company... I have seen one of the entity providing consultancy services where they have registered as Pvt Ltd....is this right are there any exemptions provided..

latest answer

There is no exemption under ICAI allowing a company to practise accountancy. Entities you see operating as Pvt Ltd could be providing non professional accounting Consultancy A Pvt Ltd cannot: Hold itself out as providing CA services Use the designation “Chartered Accountant” in its trade name Undertake statutory audits, tax audits, GST audits Issue certificates under Income-tax Act / GST Act

preconditions

Auditing

answered 12 hrs ago

What happens if preconditions for an audit are not present? limitation on Scope of auditor’s work prior to acceptance of Audit engagement Acceptance of a change in terms of Audit engagement Recourse for the auditor in a situation of non-agreement - non reasonable change Mam in all the four cases we have to see reasonable justification available - draft new EL otherwise give disclaimer of opinion or withdraw from engagement by full reporting requirements to TCWG,Members whether it is correct

latest answer

If preconditions are not present or limitation is prior to accepting the engagement, we don’t accept the engagement. Later if they impose limitation, then we can end up with disclaimer of opinion or withdrawal

Clause (1)(e) BENAMI TRANSACTIONS

Auditing

answered on 19-Dec-25 09:48

Ma'am , if proceedings relating to benami property have been initiated under the Benami Act and the company has properly disclosed the same in the financial statements, does the auditor still have to report it under CARO 2020? For benami property under CARO 2020, does reporting depend on existence of proceedings or on improper disclosure? [Video Time Stamp: 18:24]

latest answer

Reporting is done by the initiation or pendency of proceedings under the Benami Act and not by improper disclosure. Even if proper disclosure is made, the auditor is required to report the existence of such proceedings.

Self review threat

Auditing

answered on 20-Dec-25 20:42

Mam, as you explained in this video that if an accountant having access to corporate assets for personal use why will it come under self review threat? it comes under self interest threat right as he is benefitting from that? [Video Time Stamp: 03:36]

latest answer

Access to corporate assets for personal use gives rise to BOTH threats: Self-interest threat -due to personal benefit Self-review threat -because the accountant may later review or rely on records relating to his own use of assets In Professional Ethics questions, ICAI often highlights the dominant threat as Self-review because it directly affects audit objectivity and reliability. ICAI focuses on the professional function that can get affected and not just the benefit. So you are not wrong, but icai highlights more on self review .
