The National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) has censured an Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) member for negligence and misconduct. Key points: • Violation of AS 11 – The company didn't recalculate its foreign loan with the closing rate, keeping the book value instead • Non-disclosure of Impacts – The auditor didn't think the unadjusted foreign loan mattered, so didn't disclose it. NFRA found no workpapers showing how this decision was reached • Incorrect Lease Accounting – The firm treated unpaid lease receivables as fixed assets, ignoring AS 19 rules • Missing Depreciation Information – Adjustments, additions, or deductions in the gross block and depreciation for the previous year were not disclosed • Non-disclosure of Outstanding Receivables – Trade receivables outstanding over six months weren't disclosed, breaching Schedule III The issues, noted by NFRA in its 12.06.2023 order, demonstrate the auditor's severe lack of due diligence.

In this Element the origins of corporate governance are reviewed, recognising that corporate entities have always been governed, that important developments took place in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the huge significance of the invention of the joint-stock limited liability company. The development of corporate governance in the twentieth century around the world is explored, with complex groups, private companies, and top management dominating shareholder power appearing in the Inter-war years. Some unresolved issues in both principle and practice are identified. Various theories of corporate governance are described and contrasted. The subject is seen to be in search of its paradigm and a systems theoretical relationship between the theories is suggested. The need to rethink the concept of the limited liability company is argued, and a call is made for the development of a philosophy of corporate governance.

This book focuses on the legal and social aspects of corporate governance through doctrinal and empirical research papers presented at the 9th International Conference on Governance Fraud Ethics and Social Responsibility held at National Law University Delhi in 2018. The papers encompass the internal and external factors that affect the interests of a company’s stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, suppliers, government regulators and management, and several other important players. The book provides better clarity on the concept of corporate governance and how it is intertwined with factors such as sustainability, social responsibility and the role of government, taxation and audit, and shareholder engagement.
