The NFRA order highlighted significant deficiencies and material misstatements in the audit conducted by CA Rakesh Puri for Sun and Shine Worldwide Limited (SSWL).
The financial years under scrutiny were 2012-13 and 2013-14.

The NFRA order emphasised the critical importance of adhering strictly to auditing standards, exercising professional skepticism, understanding the entity being audited, proper audit planning, and complying with preconditions for the audit.
