Chairman’s Communication<br />

The times are moving ahead and the Year 2011<br />

is in its concluding stages, the Year 2011 was<br />

a full <strong>of</strong> innovations, challenges and exciting<br />

moments. But actually a year's end is neither<br />

an end, nor a beginning, but it’s going on, with<br />

all the wisdom, knowledge & experience that<br />

will be carried to the coming years.<br />

Last month was a hectic month, as it had kept<br />

you busy with your respective examinations and I hope that all your<br />

hard work that has been put in will certainly hold the key to unlock the<br />

doors <strong>of</strong> your desired success.<br />

boy”. Therefore, to rejuvenate and relax your tired minds we have two<br />

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 />
