The year 2024 marked a renewal of confrontations between the fledgling audit regulator and the statutory apex body of chartered accountants (CAs), after a spell of harmony.
In August, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) raised concerns on the National Financial Reporting Authority's (NFRA) decision to revise the existing SA 600 (standard on auditing 600) auditing standards, and align them with the International Standard on Auditing 600 (ISA 600).
ICAI contended that changes in the SA 600, as proposed by NFRA, will lead to the concentration of work in the hands of large audit firms.
"There are apprehensions in the minds of small and medium CA firms who are generally entrusted with audit work of the subsidiary companies that the group auditor in the guise of overseeing the quality of their work may persuade the managements to replace the small audit firms of subsidiary companies with that of his own firms leading to concentration of the audit work in the hands of few firms.
This would make the survival of the small firms difficult," ICAI noted.

Across the Aisle
Commentators described the BJP-led government as a 'minority' government that will force Mr Modi to be more circumspect and restrained. I did not share that view. They thought that Mr Modi will be more deferent to Parliament, but that too was belied by the Winter session. Apparently, on Mr Modi's instructions, the ministers and MPs carried on in the usual aggressive way, showed scant respect to Parliamentary rules and conventions, and rode roughshod over the Opposition
