The amendments came into effect on 1 April 2021. Since the auditor is required to give a true and fair view of the financial statements, the additional disclosures as prescribed in Annex III will form part of the financial statements and will therefore be covered by the auditor&#8217;s report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/legalwindow.in\/caro-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARO 2020<\/a>, the auditor&#8217;s responsibility to disclose the required details as specified in the order increases. However, all this information can be obtained from the financial statements, and therefore the financial reporting framework needed to be aligned with the reporting under CARO 2020. Accordingly, necessary changes were made in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. The main reason for these changes in Schedule III is to align the financial reporting framework in line with the reporting structure required in CARO 2020 and increase the transparency of financial statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the\"><b>Auditor&#8217;s Responsibility for Auditing the Financial Statements\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor&#8217;s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but does not guarantee that an audit performed under SA will always detect a material misstatement if any. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to affect the economic decisions of users made based on these financial statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"of\"><b>Analysis of Financial Statement<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assess and identify the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, design, and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the view.
