21 May 2012 Dear Sir/s,

I am working in a company where only two employees there on its payroll and the company has made provisions for Leave Encashment and Gratuity as well as per its policy in case of Leave Encashment and and as per law prevailing in case of Gratuity. Our Auditors have raised queries that Acturial valuation should have been done. Can anybody let me know whether this is mandatory to have Acturial Valuation in these cases. Please guide.
Thanks,
