03 April 2009 Dear Sir/Madam,
I have the following doubt:

Before the Companies accounting standards rule came out,the following was the situation--
Companies were required to follow Sch VI requirements and also the AS as issued by ICAI and in case of conflict,the SCH VI would prevail.

Then the above rule came out which provides as a note that the auditor has to ensure that AS 1-7 and 9-29 are followed by companies.
It further provides in its annexure that these standards are meant to be in comfirmity with law,however if there is a conflict due to any SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS IN LAW, the law shall prevail.

My question is:
Does it mean that at present the situation is that the AS overule SCH VI but only upon any subsequent amendments in SCH VI the law will prevail??
How to answer a question in the exams?...as per AS or as per SCH VI?

Kindly reply at the earliest.

Thanking You,
Regards,
Minal S. Vora,
