ACCOUNTS AND AUDITS

According to the committee, ‘Proper and accurate compilation of financial information of a corporate and its disclosure in a manner that is standardized and understood by stakeholders is central to the credibility of the corporates and soundness of investment decisions by the investors.

The committee took note of the contributions made by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the National Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards and favoured the continuance of the existing institutional mechanism for formulating and notifying Accounting Standards.
