The financial statement which can be issued to the outsider are generally the period when the financial statement are published in case of listed company / public limited company or sent to bankers in the case of private limited company. If any event which needs to be reported comes to the auditor after signing of Balance Sheet or before publication of report, it is considered as subsequent event.
