Following features of CFS have impact on related audit procedure
1. CFSs are prepared on basis of separate FSs of parent and its components, using consolidation
procedures prescribed by AS
2. Auditor of CFSs may use work of other auditors as per SA’s unless auditor of CFSs is also auditor
of other components of group.
Note: CFSs also include some ‘other financial information’ (i.e. some additional disclosure in CFS,
proportion of items included in CFSs to which different accounting policies applied, Subsequent
events.) Which are not include in SFS
STUDENT NOTE:
1. Relevance of SA 600
• SA 600, ‘Using Work of Another Auditor’ when auditor, reporting on FSs of an entity (Group—in
case of CFSs), uses work of another auditor on financial information of one/more components
included in FSs of entity.
• Principal auditor, if he decides to use work of another auditor for audit of CFSs, should comply
with requirements of SA 600.
2. Materiality Consideration
Computation of materiality is done component wise on standalone basis. But for CFS Auditor should
consider following for materiality – [MT: 2 Materiality & Component]
Auditor is required to Auditor can also use Principal auditor Principal auditor
compute materiality materiality computed on computes materiality also obtains certain

To Assess Appropriateness whether component's FSs are component auditor i.e. Independence/
of consolidation adjustments material to group to code of ethics
scope in additional components
Note: However, while considering observations (for modification &/or emphasis of matter) of
component auditor in his report on standalone FSs, principles of SA 600 need to be considered.
So, concept of materiality to be considered while considering observation of component auditor!!

DIFFERENT CASES OF DRAFTING REPORT (SMQ) (V.V. IMP.)

followed. In case of deviation
Requirements As per SA 705 to be followed
Q: H Co. Ltd., is holding co. with 2 subsi. H Co. Ltd., adopts straight line method of depreciation for its
assets whereas subsi S Co. Ltd., follows WDV. Though subsi R Co. Ltd., follows straight line method of
depreciation, it does not give effect to component accounting of depreciation in respect of high value
assets. While consolidating, determine possible issues. (Imp.)
A: Explain case = 3
Change in selection of method of depreciation is accounting estimate & not accounting policy as per
Ind-AS 8. Entity should select method that closely reflects expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefit. That method should be applied consistently from period to period unless there is a
change in expected pattern of consumption of those future economic benefits in separate FSs as & CFSs.
Therefore, there can be different methods for calculation of depreciation for its assets, if expected
pattern of consumption is different. Method once selected in standalone FSs of subsidiary should not
be changed while preparing CFSs.
Copy paste ques
However, each part of item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to total cost of item should
be depreciated separately under Component Method of Depreciation as per AS 10. Thus, R Co. Ltd.,
though adopting straight line method but does not giving effect to component accounting of
depreciation in respect of high value assets, is not in compliance with Ind AS 16/AS10.
