25 November 2023 Dear Experts,
1 A company is paying the fees to the Statutory auditor for issuing the certificate towards related party transactions entered by the company.
2 Since this transaction is not related to the statutory audit, can the company account this transaction under professional fees? Or it has to be accounted with Audit fees
3 Pls confirm

That is the statutory audit fees only be accounted under Audit fees.
Other fees are accounted under professional charges?
