Chartered accountants’ apex body ICAI on Tuesday said it is looking at alleged accounting irregularities at some Tata group companies in the wake of concerns raised by ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry.
Besides, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is examining the accounting issues related to the United Spirits ltd (USl).
“We have asked the Financial Reporting Review Board (FRRB) to look at accounting issues arising out of that and examine whether there are any irregularities,” ICAI President Nilesh S Vikamsey said.
Vikamsey, who was elected as President on February 12, was responding to a query on whether the institute is looking at alleged irregularities at some Tata group companies.
“There are many qualitative issues there, lot of underlying documents and papers which the members would have relied upon that is being examined,” he said.
Coming under the ICAI Council, FRRB reviews the compliance of entities with various accounting and auditing standards.
When asked whether the institute is having a preliminary look at the issues, he replied in the affirmative.
