The tribunal has the power to direct the company to reopen its accounts and to appoint an auditor to examine the accounts. The auditor must submit a report to the tribunal within a specified time, stating whether the accounts are accurate and complete. The tribunal can then decide whether to accept the report and order the company to rectify any deficiencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tribunal appointed under the Companies Act, 2013, has wide powers to order the reopening of accounts. The tribunal can order the reopening of accounts if it finds that there are errors, omissions or misstatements in the accounts.
