Role <strong>of</strong> the audit committee<br />
By K. P. SHASHIDHARAN<br />
Contributed by Mr. Ravi Gandhi (IPCC Student)<br />
The committee should review IT policy and governance through<br />
interactions with the Chief Information Officer, Chief Risk Officer<br />
and through the IT steering committee.<br />
Audit committee, one <strong>of</strong> the key pillars <strong>of</strong> corporate governance<br />
and an important operating committee the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors is<br />
responsible for audit and control functions, oversight <strong>of</strong> financial<br />
reporting, disclosure, regulatory compliance and risk<br />
management activities <strong>of</strong> an entity.<br />
The committee focuses on integrity <strong>of</strong> financial reporting,<br />
selection <strong>of</strong> competent auditors, evaluates their independent<br />
functioning, adequacy <strong>of</strong> internal controls, efficacy <strong>of</strong> internal<br />
audit and compensation <strong>of</strong> the executives, wherever remuneration<br />
committee is non-existent.<br />
All publicly-traded companies in the US, Canada, countries <strong>of</strong> the<br />
European Union and India, must have a qualified audit committee<br />
with independent external directors, and at least one qualifying as<br />
a financial expert. As per the benchmark propagated by the<br />
VOL. XI l DECEMBER 2011<br />
<strong>Baroda</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> <strong>of</strong> WICASA <strong>of</strong> The Institute <strong>of</strong> Chartered Accountants <strong>of</strong> India<br />
Institute <strong>of</strong> Internal Auditors, ideally, an audit committee should<br />
comprise a minimum <strong>of</strong> three members, not exceed six members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the board <strong>of</strong> directors, and each committee member must be<br />
independent in functioning, financially literate and the audit<br />
committee must have at least one member competent to be<br />
designated as the “financial expert”, as defined by applicable<br />
legislation.<br />
RESPONSIBILITIES<br />
While the Audit Committee relies on the management for day-today<br />
running <strong>of</strong> the business operations, it has to oversee the<br />
overall management functioning, especially relating to the integrity<br />
<strong>of</strong> financial reporting, adoption <strong>of</strong> accounting policies and<br />
principles, appointment <strong>of</strong> external auditors, their performance<br />
and independent functioning, regulatory compliance,<br />
whistleblower mechanism and adequacy <strong>of</strong> internal control<br />
process.<br />
The committee should not only approve the internal audit plan and<br />
work assignment, but also discuss regularly with the top<br />
management its risk management policies and practices, examine<br />
quarterly and annual financial reports, management's<br />
assumptions relating to critical accounting judgments, fair value<br />
issues, impairments and major accounting policies and<br />
principles. The committee may direct special investigations using<br />
external experts, if deemed necessary.<br />
RISK MANAGEMENT<br />
The audit committee ought to focus on the entity's tax obligation<br />
and conformity to applicable tax laws to reduce its risks. When<br />
companies are expanding domestically as well as globally by<br />
mergers and acquisitions, the audit committee needs to<br />
understand the tax implications, especially when double taxation<br />
agreements between countries undergo changes, new Direct<br />
Taxes Code (DTC) and Goods and Service Tax (GST) laws and Ind-<br />
IFRS are on the horizon.<br />
By ensuring proper work programmes to internal audit, selecting<br />
competent external auditors and ensuring requisite coordination<br />
between internal and external audits, the audit committee can<br />
contribute substantially toward implementing quality governance,<br />
risk management and compliance with mandatory regulations.<br />
The committee should review IT policy and governance through<br />
interactions with the Chief Information Officer, Chief Risk Officer<br />
and through the IT steering committee, as well as discussing with<br />
the top management regarding key issues such as IT alignment<br />
with business goals, and how far it is facilitating achievement <strong>of</strong><br />
organisational goals, plugging control risks if any, relating to IT<br />
architecture, business outsourcing and MIS, and safeguarding<br />
information assets, while making certain the entity's business<br />
continuity plan and disaster preparedness.<br />

A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE<br />
INDIAN ECONOMY<br />
Contributed by Mr. Nandan Soni (IPCC Student)<br />
DEAR INDIANS,<br />
YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY<br />
FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS:<br />
Before 24 months 1 US $ = IND Rs 39<br />
after 24 months, now 1 $ = IND Rs 50<br />
Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is<br />
Going Down.<br />
Our economy is in your hands....<br />
INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN<br />
countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN<br />
industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if<br />
we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical<br />
situation.<br />
More than 30,000 crores rupees <strong>of</strong> foreign exchange are being<br />
siphoned out <strong>of</strong> our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks,<br />
tea, beverages, etc... Which are grown, produced and consumed here.<br />
A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for Rs.9 and<br />
a major chunk <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>its from these are sent abroad. This is a serious<br />
drain on INDIAN economy.<br />
We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our<br />
own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only at<br />
least for the next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do<br />
this, the Rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much<br />
more for the same products in the near future.<br />
What you can do about it?<br />
1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.<br />
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.....<br />
Each individual should become a leader for this awareness. This is the<br />
only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't<br />
need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate<br />
product.<br />
All categories <strong>of</strong> products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN<br />
COMPANIES.<br />
LIST OF PRODUCTS<br />
COLD DRINKS:<br />
DRINK LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET<br />
OR SOUR), BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JAL JEERA, ENERJEE,<br />

Every INDIAN product you buy makes a big difference. It saves INDIA.<br />
Let us take a firm decision today.<br />
BUY INDIAN TO BE INDIAN - We are not against <strong>of</strong> foreign products.<br />
WE ARE NOT ANTI-MULTINATIONAL. WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE OUR<br />
NATION. EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR A REAL FREEDOM. WE<br />
ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES.<br />
MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY.<br />
FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME, IT IS RE-COLONIZATION OF INDIA.<br />
THE COLONIST'S LEFT INDIA THEN. BUT THIS TIME, THEY WILL MAKE<br />
SURE THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.<br />
PLEASE REMEMBER: POLITICAL FREEDOM IS USELESS WITHOUT<br />
ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE<br />
RUSSIA, S.KOREA, MEXICO - THE LIST IS VERY LONG!! LET US<br />
LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND FROM OUR HISTORY. LET US<br />
DO THE DUTY OF EVERY TRUE INDIAN.<br />
FINALLY, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU CAN'T GIVE UP ALL OF THE ITEMS<br />
MENTIONED ABOVE. SO GIVE UP AT LEAST ONE ITEM FOR THE SAKE<br />
OF OUR COUNTRY!<br />
PLEASE TRY TO BE AN INDIAN. JAI HIND!!<br />

IMPORTANT JUDGEMENTS IN DIRECT TAXES<br />
Contributed by : Ms. Priyanka Thakkar (CA Final Student)<br />
1. CIT vs. Bhari Information Tech Systems (Supreme Court)<br />
For s. 115JA/JB s. 80HHC deduction to be computed as per P&L<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>its & not normal provisions<br />
The assessee had a loss as per the normal computation though it<br />
had a pr<strong>of</strong>it as per the P&L A/c. In computing the book pr<strong>of</strong>its u/s<br />
115JA, the assessee claimed deduction u/s 80HHE. The AO<br />
rejected the claim on the basis that as the assessee had no income<br />
under the regular provisions <strong>of</strong> the Act, it was not eligible for s.<br />
80HHE deduction in computing the s. 115JA book pr<strong>of</strong>its. This<br />
was upheld by the High Court. On appeal by the department, HELD<br />
dismissing the appeal:<br />
In DCIT vs. Syncome Formulations, the Special Bench held in the<br />
context <strong>of</strong> s. 80HHC that the deduction is to be worked out not on<br />
the basis <strong>of</strong> regular income tax pr<strong>of</strong>its but on the basis <strong>of</strong> the<br />
adjusted book pr<strong>of</strong>its in a case where s. 115JA is applicable. It was<br />
held that once the law itself declares that the adjusted book pr<strong>of</strong>it is<br />
amenable for further deductions on specified grounds, in a case<br />
where s. 80HHC (80HHE in the present case) is operational, it<br />
becomes clear that computation for the deduction under those<br />
sections needs to be worked out on the basis <strong>of</strong> the adjusted book<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>it. Accordingly, the deduction claimed by the assessee u/s<br />
80HHC & 80HHE has to be worked out on the basis <strong>of</strong> adjusted<br />
book pr<strong>of</strong>it u/s 115JA.<br />
Service Tax Payment in Form GIR7 & Excise Duty Payment for the<br />
month <strong>of</strong> November (6th in case <strong>of</strong> electronic payment,<br />
otherwise due date in 5th)<br />
TDS (Form 280/281)/TCS payment for the month <strong>of</strong> November.<br />
Excise return (ER 1) for the month <strong>of</strong> November 2011,<br />
ER-6 Monthly Return U/R9A(3) <strong>of</strong> CCR, 2004<br />
PF payment for the month <strong>of</strong> November.<br />
VAT & CST monthly payment & filing <strong>of</strong> VAT & CST<br />
returns for the month <strong>of</strong> November.<br />
ESI remittance for the month <strong>of</strong> November.<br />
PF monthly return for the month <strong>of</strong> November.<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Tax payment for the month <strong>of</strong> November.<br />
2. CIT vs. Manjula J. Shah (Bombay High Court)<br />
Indexed cost <strong>of</strong> gifted assets has to be determined with reference<br />
to previous owner<br />
The assessee’s daughter purchased a flat on 29.1.1993 at a cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> Rs.50.48 lakhs. She gifted the flat to the assessee on 1.2.2003.<br />
The assessee sold the flat on 30.6.2003 for Rs. 1.10 crores. In<br />
computing LTCG, the assessee took the indexed cost <strong>of</strong><br />
acquisition under Explanation (iii) to s. 48 on the basis that she<br />
“held” the flat since 29.1.1993. The AO held that as the assessee<br />
had “held” the flat from 1.2.2003, the cost inflation index for 2002-<br />
03 would be applicable. On appeal by the department, HELD<br />
dismissing the appeal:<br />
Under Explanation 1(i)(b) to s. 2(42A), in determining the period<br />
for which any asset is held by an assessee under a gift, the period<br />
for which the said asset was held by the previous owner has to be<br />
included. Accordingly, though the assessee acquired the capital<br />
asset on 30.6.2003, she was deemed to have “held” the asset<br />
from 29.1.1993 onwards. This fiction will apply to clause (iii) <strong>of</strong><br />
the Explanation to s. 48 as well for determining the “indexed cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> acquisition”. Thus the period for which the said asset was held<br />
by the previous owner cannot be excluded while determining the<br />
indexed cost <strong>of</strong> acquisition <strong>of</strong> that asset to the assessee.<br />

3. Indian Newspaper Society vs. ITO (TDS) (Bombay High Court)<br />
TDS: AO in place <strong>of</strong> payment has no jurisdiction if assessee<br />
assessed outside<br />
The assessee, based & assessed in Delhi, was allotted land by<br />
MMRDA at Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai, on lease for 80 years.<br />
The lease premium <strong>of</strong> Rs.88.52 crores was paid without<br />
deduction <strong>of</strong> tax at source. The ITO (TDS) Mumbai passed an order<br />
u/s 201 in which he held that the assessee had defaulted in not<br />
deducting TDS u/s 194-I on the lease premium. The assessee filed<br />
a Writ Petition to challenge the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the ITO (TDS)<br />
Mumbai. HELD upholding the plea:<br />
The assessee was assessed at New Delhi. Its PAN & TAN were<br />
allotted by the AO at New Delhi. All returns including the TDS<br />
returns were filed at New Delhi. Accordingly, there was complete<br />
absence <strong>of</strong> jurisdiction on the part <strong>of</strong> the AO at Mumbai to proceed<br />
against the assessee.<br />

4. CIT vs. M/s K. Mohan & Co. (Exports) (Bombay High Court)<br />
S. 147: Retrospective amendment does not mean failure to<br />
disclose material facts<br />
After the expiry <strong>of</strong> four years from the end <strong>of</strong> the assessment year,<br />
the AO reopened the assessment u/s 147 by relying on the<br />
retrospective amendment to s. 80HHC by the Taxation Laws<br />
(Amendment) Act, 2005 w.e.f. 1.4.1998. On appeal by the<br />
department, HELD dismissing the appeal:<br />
The assessment was sought to be reopened on account <strong>of</strong><br />
retrospective amendment to s. 80HHC introduced by the Taxation<br />
Laws Amendment Act, 2005 with effect from 1st April 1998. If the<br />
legislature amends the provisions <strong>of</strong> the Act with retrospective<br />
effect, it cannot be said that there was failure on the part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
assessee to disclose fully and truly all material facts relevant for<br />
the purpose <strong>of</strong> assessment.<br />
