Dear Rohan,
Generally the following points should be kept in mind while examining the investments of a company...
- such investments should be held in the name of company
- statements of such investments should be checked as on 31st Mar, whether balance matched with books of account or not..
- any income or interest accrued on such investment is accounted for or not..
- further to be checked whether such investment has been provided further as secuity or gurantee, if yes, then whether business purpose or personal..
- whether such investment is beneficial for business or it is just blocking the funds of business..
- whether investments are quoted or unquoted for disclosure purpose
- determine the NAV of all the investments held as on balance sheet date
- if the investment has been made in the related party concern, then it should be disclosed separately..
Further there may be more points depending upon the nature & type of investments...
Hope it will help you...!!!!
