20 February 2013 In the CARO report the auditor writes that he has physically verified all the fixed assets. Hence you should verify it physically else in case of non compliance you will be liable.

21 February 2013 Assets should be verified physically by the management at reasonable intervals. This would mean may be twice a year. An auditor will not have to necessarily check the same every year if management approves of the same. However, if possible it should be checked, if not every year then maybe once in 2 years.
