The Financial Reporting Review Board (FRRB) of ICAI performs an assessment of general-purpose financial statements of different entities to ensure adherence to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), compliance with auditor’s reporting obligations, and compliance with disclosure requirements set by regulatory bodies, laws, and applicable regulations. The FRRB was established as a proactive mechanism to enhance financial reporting and auditing practices.
The Board has released a Study on Compliance with Financial Reporting Requirements that highlight instances of typical non-compliance or mistakes found in Ind AS financial statements. This article will examine some of the main non-compliances and errors identified by the FRRB concerning Ind AS 27, Separate financial statements, highlighting issues relating to investments. These findings will serve as a benchmark to verify whether entities have followed Ind AS guidelines when preparing their yearly financial statements.
