Company Secretarial Audit

The Secretarial Audit is the fragment of Legal Compliance reporting system. The Government of India analyzes the requirement for Secretarial Audit India only by rewarding it with the due Statutory recognition to such an audit. It’s the responsibility of the company to undertake Company Secretarial audit on its own.

This audit assures the board of directors about compliance of different provisions affecting corporate entities and, in this way, help justify their Bonafede of non-involvement in any commission or omission, any technical error, violation or contravention and breaches.

The copy of the certificate is to be attached with the Board’ s report referred in section 217. The company secretary audits the documents before being submitted to board of directors for concluding the position of the company.
