23 January 2010 Under the Companies Act, 1956 the annual financial statements of a company, after they are approved/signed by the Board of Directors, and the auditors report thereon are placed before the shareholders/members for their adoption at the Annual General Meeting . However, in exceptional cases, the financial statements may need to be revised/rectified. As per the Guidance Note on Auditor's Report on Revised Accounts of Companies before circulation to Shareholders issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in December 1979, a company's financial statements, duly approved/authenticated by the Board of Directors and the statutory auditors can be amended before they are circulated to the shareholders.

23 January 2010 Agree with expert.

The fact that the results have been re-approved should be mentioned in the Notes to Accounts specifying the change made.
