Hai praveen, AsMr.chethan said there were no conditions for being appointed as auditorsfor listed companies. Recently our institute came with the thought that only peer reviewed would be appointed as statutory auditors. We need to check up whether same is mandatory and if so from when.

It is applicable with immediate effect for the accounting period starting on or after April 01, 2009. From the abvoe said period, only firms which were issued peer review certificates from the Peer Review Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, can audit the listed companies.

If a firm was not peer reviewed earlier, it can apply to the peer peer review board to get it peer reviewed in order to become eligible for auditing a listed Co.

Sir,

Please let me know whether the Suspended Company from ther Stock Exchange is required to be audited by the firm which are peer reviewed? As the shares are not traded in the exchange, can they get audit their accounts by non peer-reviewed firm?
