09 April 2010 As per section 215 of the Companies Act, 1956, every balance sheet and every profit and loss account of the company should be signed by the Company Secretary and by not more than two directors of the Company one of whom shall be a managing director where there is one.

In our Company, the Auditors had made a practice that apart from the two Directors and the Company Secretary, the head of the Accounts Department (even though he is not the director)sign the balance sheet and profit and loss account.Is this practice is ok? If so, whether a Board resolution to that effect is required?

I seek advice from experts.

Thanks

10 April 2010 According to me and as desired by section 215 director who is a member of board can sign the BS along with CS.

Further if 2 director and a CS is signing the BS than there is no need to get the BS signed from any other person.

Views of other experts solicited.
