Mr. Aditya
thanks for reply.
My Statutory Auditor says AS 18 is applicable to all the Companies. My company have turnover less than 50 crores and no borrowings. We are neither listed nor a bank nor Financial institution nor insurance business nor we are subsiduary of any company.
Then is AS 18 is applicable to us. Our Auditors says it is applicable.
Please provide your opinion.
Regards

Your Statutory Auditor is correct in saying that AS 18 is applicable. As per companies accounting standard rules 2006, AS 18 is applicable for all the companies, Which is in contradiction of AS 18. Users of account is restricted in case of level 2 and level 3 enterprise, but still you will be requiring to diclose as it is mandated by Companies rule.

It all depends upon the transaction. If a transaction has a commercial effect, all relevant standards are applicable ‘Exclusion of an enterprise from the applicability of the Accounting Standards would be permissible only if no part of the activity of such enterprise is commercial, industrial or business in nature. Even if a very small proportion of the activities of an enterprise is considered to be commercial, industrial or business in nature, the Accounting Standards would apply to all its activities including those which are not commercial, industrial or business in nature.”

So it will also be applicable to trusts as long as there is commercial transaction happening

When you go through as 18 applicability, level 2& 3 companies cannot use this standard. When I checked out companies acts & NGO’s (societies, trusts and section 8) and it doesn’t mention anything about level 3 and its relationships. The classification is broader and google will demystify this when appropriate research is posted.

Level 2 and 3 companies include NGOs, societies, and trusts right?
