Appointment Because Company Wanted To Appoint Another Auditors As Per Their Assessment, However, Considering The Legal Hassles Which Would Have Got Involved, The Company
Decided To Go Ahead With This. The Audit Of The Financial Statement For The Year Ended 31 March 2020 Got Completed By The Auditors Appointed By The C&Ag. Subsequent To This, The
C&Ag Also Issued An Order To Conduct Test Audit Of The Accounts Of The Company Which Was Objected By The Management Of The Company. The Management Objected Saying That The
Complete Set Of Financial Statements Have Been Audited By Auditors Appointed By The C&Ag And Hence This Order Is Not Acceptable Because This Would Lead To Duplication Of Work.
Moreover, The Management Has Also Written To The C&Ag That For The Next Financial Year, The Existing Auditors Should Either Resign So That The Management May Bring In Their Own
Auditors Or The C&Ag Should Have Faith In The Work Of The Auditors Appointed By Them. Please Suggest How To Resolve This Matter. (Icai-Mcqs Booklet)

The Manner In Which Audit Should Be Conducted In Respect Of Certain Areas. Further, It Also Received Comments From C&Ag On The Audit Report Of The Auditors. Nocri Ltd Is Seeking
Legal Opinion To Go Against C&Ag So That They Can Avoid Unnecessary Interference Of C&Ag And Is Also Looking To Have New Auditors Appointed By Nocri Ltd With Whom They Will Have
An Engagement Letter With The Terms That Those Auditors Don
6 A. The stand of the existing auditors should have been better i.e. not to accept any interference of C&AG.
B. Management could have planned the audit work better by including the same terms in engagement letter with existing auditors instead of appointing another auditors.

resolved.

Pmp Ltd Is An Associate Of Pmp Inc, A Company Based In Kuwait. Pmp Ltd Is Listed In India Having Its Corporate Office At Assam. The Companys Operations Have Remained Stable Over The
Years And The Management Is Looking To Expand The Operations For Which The Management Is Considering Different Business Ventures. The Companys Auditors Issued Clean Audit Report
On The Audit Of The Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2019. For The Financial Year Ended 31 March 2020, The Auditors Made Some Changes In Their Audit Team. While
The Audit Partner Remained The Same, The Field Incharge Has Been Replaced, As The Field Incharge Who Was Engaged In The Audit Of The Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31
March 2019 Has Left The Firm. The Audit Team Has A New Person As External Quality Control Reviewer (Eqcr) Who Has Specialized Knowledge Of The Industry In Which The Company Is
Operating. Eqcr Has Been Employed With The Firm For Over 2.5 Years And Is Yet To Clear His Ca (Chartered Accountancy) Final Exams. The Changes Were Made On The Basis Of The
Consideration That The Firm Has Enough Experience Of Engagement With This Client. The Audit Team Commenced The Work For Audit Of The Year Ended 31 March 2020 After Detailed
Planning And It Was Observed That Eqcr Had Various Comments On Certain Matters Which Were Not Accepted By The Audit Partner. Audit Partner Had Better Understanding Of The Client
And After Assessing The Comments Of The Eqcr Did Not Find Those Relevant. The Audit Partner Without Concurrence Of The Eqcr Finalized The Audit And Issued The Audit Report. In The
Given Situation, Please Advise Which One Of The Following Is Correct? (Icai-Mcqs Booklet)
5
a. The changes in the audit team were not appropriate except for the field in-charge who had left the firm. EQCR should have been a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India (ICAI).
b. The audit partner did the right thing by ignoring the comments of EQCR as he is the final authority to decide on any matter and take decisions. Further EQCR was junior to the audit
partner.
c. The audit partner must discuss each and every comment of EQCR with the client and ensure that a proper disclosure in respect of those points should be made either in the financial
statements or the audit report.
d. EQCR had sufficient and appropriate experience. He should have been given the authority to objectively evaluate various matters, before the report is issued, the significant judgments
the engagement team made and the conclusions they reached in formulating the report. By ignoring the comments of the EQCR, audit partner took additional professional responsibility on
himself. By considering the comments of EQCR, he could have passed the responsibility to EQCR.
