This can come under the purview of professional ethics as undercutting of fees.
However, if the engagement shows that the reduction in fees is due to reduction in quantum of work, then it cannot be said that the firm is guilty. The firm has to show that the fees was quoted low due to reduction in quantum of work (eg : there were less number of transactions during the year and such reduction in quantum of transaction is permanent in nature, etc). Some relationship has to be shown for low fees so quoted.
Last years Statutory Auditors XYZ & Co for a remuneration of Rs. 85000/- and TP Auditor ABC & Co for a remuneration of Rs. 75000/-.
For the Current Year Statutory Auditrs are Same XYZ & Co for a remuneration of Rs. 150000/-,. Can XYZ & Co accept the TP Audit Assignment for the Current year for a remuneration of Rs. 50000/-
