10 September 2007 ONE WAY IN WHICH WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM IN A PARTICULAR YEAR WAS BY STATING THAT SINCE THE SUBSIDIARY WAS NOT OPERATING OR DEFUNCT,IT WAS OFFERED FOR SALE AND ALSO WE R LOOKING AT OTHER AREAS/AVENUES OF DISPOSAL/ DISINVESTING IN THE UNIT. HENCE AS THE CONTROLOF THE SUBSIDIARY IS INTENDED TO BE TEMPORARY, NO NEED TO COMPLY AS 21 .THE AUDITOR ALSO STATED SAME AND WE R THROUGH.
NEXT YEAR YOU MAY SAY YOUR EFFORTS TO DISPOASE OR DISINVEST ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL AND HENCE YOU MAY PLAN NEXT YEAR ACCOUNTING /ACTION AS TO WHAT SUITS YOU MOST.
THE FACTS OF THE ABOVE CASE WERE STATED AS DEADLINE IS APPROACHING IN YOUR CASE.OTHERWISE YOUR STATUTORY OR INTERNAL AUDITORS FROM THEIR EXPOSURE CAN SUITABLY ADVISE YOU AS STATUTORY AUDITOR NEEDS COMPLY AS-21 AND TO SUITABLY REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS.
BUT APPLICABILITY OR SUITABILITY OF THIS SUGGESTION TO YOUR CASE IS UPTO YOU TO DECIDE.WHAT I GAVE IS AN ACTUAL EXPERIENCE.
