How can a company comply with a law which is not known on the date of signing the report? Even Reliance Industries Ltd's annual report (audit report signed on 17.4.2015) does not contain CARO 2015 report. Auditors have taken a plea that CARO 2015 gazette notification was not available till that date. However, as discussed with the company, they have now issued CARO 2015 report separately and sent to all shareholders. See the link:

Respected Mr. P C Agarwal, accepted that the report did not inculed CARO 2015 because it was not then gazzeted. But CARO 2003 stands withdrawan on encactment of the Companies Act 2013. When Companies Act 1956 is withdrawn can the audit report contain CARO 2003 which was issued pursuant to the sections of Companies Act 1956?
