National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) was established by the Central Government in October 2018 under Section 132(1) of the Companies Act, 2013. An important function of NFRA under Section 132(2)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 is to make recommendation to Central Government on the formulation and laying down of accounting and auditing policies and standards for adoption by companies or class of companies or their auditors.

In view of the significant role played by companies in India in the economic growth and development of the Nation, it is essential that the regulatory environment is conducive to support, and not burden, the growth in business and economic activities of these entities. A preliminary analysis has been done by NFRA on the key financial parameters of the companies registered in India from their MCA-21 filings and it is found that the fees paid to auditors by a large majority of Micro, Small and Medium Companies (MSMCs) are way below what an audit, when performed in compliance with the letter and spirit of the Standards of Auditing, would require.

Major economies of the world require statutory audit for small companies only in case some minimum criteria of public interest are satisfied. Even in India, income tax audit is now not compulsory where the turnover is Rs. 10 crore or less provided not more than 5% of the transactions are in cash. GST audit has also been completely done away with.

NFRA has prepared a Consultation Paper explaining the issues involved and providing the data and information required for responding to the questions raised in an informed manner, with the objective to seek the comments/suggestions of the wider stakeholder group and the public at large on questions raised.

Most of the auditors are the advisors to the entrepreneurs on how to escape from tax. Therefore, there should be rigid rules to control the auditors and violators should be disqualified. In my opinion m0re than 50% of the tax payers are excepted from paying tax by auditors. The sale value of 10 crore is also weakening the exchequer. This benefit should be accounted based on the employment the establishment is making. A total refurbishment is the need of the hour to put up India on first.

On the minus side, failure can be quite dramatic and visible to all, and if the project is large and expensive (most are), the cost of failure will be more substantial than for a smaller, less visible project.

Top Management
Top management may include the president of the company, vice-presidents, directors, division managers, the corporate operating committee, and others. These people direct the strategy and development of the organization.

Observed, that generation of bill e-way, during goods delivery & the cancellation after delivery of the goods, has become a practice as a loophole in the tax evasion.
Once the bill generated & cancelled should be PENALISED, The time given for cancellation should be reduced & the reason given should be supported with a correct reason.

Municipal Bond
A bond issued by a local or state government. Municipal bonds are usually used to raise capital for improvements in infrastructure or other aspects of the municipality. For example, a city or school district may issue a bond to build a new school or a new playground. Municipal bonds are exempt from income taxes and sometimes from state local taxes as well. Municipals usually pay lower coupons than corporate bonds, but because the yield is tax-free.
