BONANZA FOR DEFAULTING AND DEFUNCT COMPANIES

                        The Corporate Sector has reason to celebrate the launch of two Schemes by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in the last week of May 2010.   The Company Law Settlement Scheme (CLSS) 2010 is intended for those companies who desire to continue after clearing their track record.  Whereas, Easy Exit Scheme (EES) 2010 is intended for those companies who desire to exit at no cost.

 

                        In the office of ROC, Mumbai, 1,30,519 companies were required to file Annual Returns and Balance Sheets.  Out of which only 66,418 companies have filed Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account for 2008-09 and only 66,148 companies have filed Annual Return for the same year.  This roughly gives compliance rate of about 50.88%.  Now those companies who have defaulted,   which account for about 50% of the total companies required to file Annual Return and Balance Sheet, can avail the CLSS 2010.  The Scheme gives a discount of 75% of the additional fee payable for delayed filing.  Thus the scope of CLSS 2010 is very large covering about 50% of the active companies under the jurisdiction of ROC, Mumbai.  These companies should avail this opportunity to clean up their track record.

 

                        The Dormant Companies falling within the jurisdiction of ROC, Mumbai as per the criteria of continuous non-filing of Annual Return and Balance Sheet since 2005-06 come to the extent of 37,969 companies.  These companies have never filed any Balance Sheet and Annual Return continuously since 2005-06.  The number of companies having paid up capital of less than Rs. 1 lac in the case of Private Companies is around 16,481 and Public Companies having paid up capital of less than Rs. 5 lacs is 4,678.  These companies have not raised the paid up capital to the minimum threshold limit prescribed in the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000.  All such defunct companies and companies having paid up capital of less than the prescribed limit are eligible to avail EES – 2010.  Unlike the earlier Schemes, SES 2003 and SES 2005 where a minimum payment was required to be paid alongwith the application, EES 2010 does not require any payment.  Moreover, in the earlier Schemes there was a requirement to update filing of Balance Sheet upto the period of doing business, whereas under EES – 2010 there is no

 

 

 

 

 

such requirement.   The only criteria is that the company availing EES  2010 should not have done any business or carried  on any business after 01.04.2008.  This is provided in the definition of "defunct company".  This is a golden opportunity for such defaulting companies to exit at no cost and least paper work.  Even companies in which directors have not obtained DIN and Digital Certificate can avail EES 2010 by executing the prescribed documents manually which can be scanned and attached to the e-form digitally signed by the Practicing Company Secretary/Practicing Chartered Accountant or Practicing Cost Accountant. Thus there is no need even to obtain DIN and Digital Certificate for availing EES 2010.

 

 

                        This is a golden opportunity for the defaulting companies as well as defunct companies to set right the records and progress towards appreciable level of compliance rate comparable to any other developed Country. Practicing Company Secretary/Practicing Chartered Accountant may prevail upon their client companies who are eligible for the Schemes to avail this one time opportunity.

Assessing the future of IFRS

MOHAN R. LAVI


It is well-nigh impossible to mandate a one-size-fits-all policy regarding IFRS



Albert Einstein said, "I never think of the future — it comes soon enough."

The future of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has been debated recently since the US seems to be leaden-footed over moving over to IFRS.

Though IFRS statements are permitted for non-US filers now, the true test of IFRS would come when it is accepted for US filers too.

In India, there have been statements from the powers-that-decide that IFRS would be tuned to Indian conditions. The much discussed and derided fair value may be one of the areas that India could decide to give a go-by to.

The US and IFRS

Since the Norwalk Agreement, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have been working together to attempt and issue accounting standards using the same criteria and concepts.

However, the much-maligned IAS 39 on Financial Instruments and its subsequent avatars (IFRS 7 and 9) have been a bone of contention. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hopes to give companies plenty of time to adjust to IFRS. In November, the SEC issued a "roadmap" that could lead to regulations requiring US businesses to file their financial statements using IFRS by 2014, or by 2011 for companies that volunteer.

One of the hurdles that is being bandied about is the high costs of moving over to IFRS.

A similar argument was raised when the Sarbanes Oxley Act was passed but the regulators did not relent.

Costs have never ever been an issue in an economy such as the US which anyway thrives on borrowed money. It may not be an aberration to state that the rule-bound and industry-specific US GAAP has failed to pass the "stress test" — stressing on entities to disclose their deeds. Enron, WorldCom, Lehman Brothers, AIG and Goldman Sachs would never get an award for best-presented accounts.

Goldman allegedly failed to disclose to investors that it was betting against subprime mortgage investments it pushed on clients — it was pushing a product which it knew ab initio would fail. They got away with a considerable fine and a tarnished image.

In accounting, entities can falter either by failing to account for a transaction, accounting it incorrectly or failing to disclose the what, why and when of accounting that transaction.

The former two may not get the nod from the auditor while the latter possibly could. IFRS thrives on detailed disclosures which mark a welcome departure from differing rules for differing industries.

It is time for the US to accept the generous gaps in its GAAP and consider IFRS as an acceptable alternative.

Indian Standards?

After recently issuing Ind-AS 41 — First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards — the ICAI completed its wish-list of issuing IFRS-compliant standards. The ball is now in the court of the regulators — SEBI, the RBI and the MCA — to tweak their legislation to accommodate IFRS.

Ind-AS 41 made a significant departure from its international equivalent IFRS-1 in not mandating companies to present their comparatives as per IFRS but keeping it as an option. One of the sine qua nons of the IASB is that entities make a full and unreserved compliance with IFRS which may not be met with in case the option is opted for.

As long as this treatment is enshrined in the statutory laws, it may not appear in red ink in the auditors' report as a qualification but the IASB may not consider them to be IFRS-compliant. This could lead to different accounting treatment between a fully-compliant controlling office and an Indian-compliant subsidiary or vice-versa rekindling interest in preparing a reco statement.

China objected to the stringent norms for disclosure of related parties in IFRS which adds further evidence to the fact that it is well-nigh impossible to mandate a one-size-fits-all policy regarding IFRS.

The IASB could do well to provide broad benchmarks for their standards and permit countries to frame their standards within these benchmarks. There can be no doubt that IFRS would remain in India — even if it is a desi version.

Cos lining up offers may have to clarify IFRS valuation changes

Four PSUs also eyeing public issues.


There can be no assurance that our adoption of IFRS will not adversely affect our reported results of operations or financial condition, and any failure to successfully adopt IFRS by April 2011 could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. — Engineers India prospectus



Jayanta Mallick

Kolkata, July 21

Large public sector companies that are offering shares before April 1 may have to take a stand on issues related to transition to the International Financial Regulation Standards (IFRS).

These companies, which are filing draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), cannot avoid referring to the transition. They have to explain the likely impact the change in accounting system will have on valuations.

The transition to IFRS is likely to happen from April 1 next year.

Engineers India, Hindustan Copper, Coal India and SAIL are planning IPOs before April 1 next year.

Engineers India, which has already filed its DRHP, explained its position vis-à-vis the transition in the document. Hindustan Copper told Business Line that it would also do the same.

No legal requirement

Coal India and SAIL are expected to talk about the issues related to the transition in their respective DRHPs, to be filed before April 1 next year.

Mr Jamil Khatri, Head of Accounting Advisory Services, KPMG in India, said: "Companies that file a DRHP prior to April 1, 2011, would need to determine the date from which IFRS will be applicable for them. If a company files a DRHP prior to April 1, 2011, and expects to transition to IFRS from April 1, 2011, it would have to consider the need to present investors with IFRS compliant numbers for historical periods included in the DRHP.

"While this is not a legal requirement, investor interest would be best served if their investment decisions are based on numbers computed on a basis that the company will use going forward."

Hindustan Copper Ltd, which is preparing a DRHP for its share offer, is transitioning into IFRS next fiscal.

It's Chairman and Managing Director, Mr Shakeel Ahmed, said that the company's DRHP would deal with IFRS related issues and would provide clarifications in the context of the transition.

Engineers India has considered the transition as a risk factor. It said in the DRHP: "Significant differences exist between Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) and other accounting principles, such US GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to investors' assessment of our financial condition and results of operations."

Interestingly, Indian GAAP does not have a concept of restatement of comparatives except in case of special-purpose financial statements prepared for a public offer of securities.

Engineers India said that it had not determined the impact IFRS adoption would have on the company's financial reporting.

"There can be no assurance that our adoption of IFRS will not adversely affect our reported results of operations or financial condition, and any failure to successfully adopt IFRS by April 2011 could have a material adverse effect on our stock price," it said.

In the first phase, Sensex and Nifty companies, entities with net worth over Rs 1,000 crore and local companies whose shares are listed abroad are required to be IFRS compliant from the next financial year.

The companies, which are not issuing shares, would have enough time for handling this changeover issues as the converged standards are only applicable to annual consolidated results.

Financial year

Mr Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Equity Head of SMC Capital Ltd, said the companies that follow the April-March financial year would need to effect the transition for the first time in the annual consolidated result of 2011-12. Those companies that begin financial year other than in April will have more time.

According to experts, IFRS will impact revenues, earnings, book values and debt. Investors need to think through the issue of comparability between peer companies and look for off-balance sheet elements in the standalone statement

"Many investors may have applied global benchmark PE multiples to previous earnings computed as per Indian GAAP. In such cases, it may be logical to apply the global benchmark multiples to comparable earnings computed under IFRS," added Mr Khatri of KPMG.

Internal vs statutory auditors

S.MURLIDHARAN


Internal audit is about efficiency and effectiveness of the audit entity, whereas statutory audit is about truth and fairness of accounts.


It is not uncommon for a teacher himself to make a grave mistake on the subject he teaches day in and day out. It is not uncommon either for a skilled sportsman to goof-up on something fundamental. The ICAI too has now forgotten its own lessons — internal audit is about efficiency and effectiveness of the audit entity, whereas statutory audit is about truth and fairness of accounts.

The line of demarcation is clear, though admittedly there can be overlapping areas given the focus of both on accounting information in the main. An internal auditor is not a conscious keeper nor entrusted with the role of blowing the whistle so much so that all these years no eyebrows went up when he was found to be one of the employees as was the case with Satyam whose promoters defrauded the company and its shareholders on a gargantuan scale pulling wool over everybody's eyes for several years.

The ICAI seems to have come to the conclusion that the internal auditor ought to be an outsider lest his independence and objectivity are compromised and the reason for this dawning realisation and change of heart is that Raju and others forged documents and committed other frauds using the internal auditor as the handmaiden.

It has not occurred to it that the chief accounts officer or for that matter anyone at all in the company well-versed with accounts, finance and banking could have come equally handy. Implicit in the ICAI's stance is the view that the internal auditor far from blowing the whistle was in fact complicit in the fraud and that an outsider, on the other hand, would have blown the whistle besides refusing to play ball with the management.

There is a school of thought which believes that external internal auditors are better than the internal-internal auditors because they are more hands-on and less hand-washing in their approach to the work. May be, but the key question is the role of the internal auditor vis-à-vis that of the statutory auditor.

Role of internal auditor

The internal auditor's remit is to ensure that the system and internal controls are not only in place but foolproof as well. And in addition he has to ensure that resources are used efficiently and effectively.

To wit, a statutory auditor does not lose sleep over under-utilisation of capacity whereas this would figure prominently in the internal auditor's report to the management.

Missing cash of course should exercise the minds of both. But if the internal auditor is drafted by the management for the dubious role of forging of documents and accounts in a manner of fence eating the crop and the statutory auditor says he has had no clue all these years as to the goings on, well it is more a reflection on the quality of the statutory auditor than on having an internal-internal auditor.

The buck stops with the statutory auditor. For, the law places on him the onerous responsibility of pronouncing on the truth and fairness of accounts. Accounts obviously cannot be true and fair when either the sales are inflated or huge cash is missing or both. The point is internal auditor's remit is limited and different.

On paper, an outsider internal auditor can be counted upon to be more objective and independent but a moment's reflection would show that he is as much beholden to the management for his office as the internal-internal auditor so much so that he too can be pusillanimous enough in looking the other way if not involve himself directly in the fraud.

The ICAI's change of heart seems to suggest that Satyam happened because of the failure of internal audit. The truth is it was a management fraud and would have happened with the connivance of anyone with a supple conscience and, therefore, it would be idle to wish that an outsider internal auditor is going to emerge as the knight in a shining armour to refurbish the image of the auditing profession and prevent frauds from happening.
