Section 143(14) says" The provisions of this section shall mutatis mutandis apply to—
(a) the cost accountant in practice conducting cost audit under section 148; or
(b) the company secretary in practice conducting secretarial audit under section 204."
Section 143(3) requires the auditor to report on the matters specified therein. 143(1) require the auditor to inquire on the matters specified therein and Rule 11 of C(A&A) R ,2014 also requires to express his comments on the matters stated therein.
Whether the above subsections affect the cost audit??
Is the cost auditor required to report on any of such matters in those subsections and rules??
