Thank you very much. I have received the checklist you have mailed.

Can you please let me know :

What is secretarial Audit ? Is Secretarial Audit mandatory ? Is it done to issue a compliance certificate ? If not, in what way secretarial audit is different from audit done to issue compliance certificate?

Thanks for your response.

In my earlier employment I was working in a Pvt. Company which had to take a compliance certificate. I was looking after only the accounts and statutory compliances under some Acts. I had not maintained any of the registers required under companies Act. I gave the required details to a practicing company secretary and all the necessary registers were manually prepared by his office.

I myself want to comply with all requirements under companies Act including maintaining of registers this time. The checklist you sent is of great help in this regard. Few days back someone in the Caclub raised an issue concerning ‘Secretarial Audit’ which aroused my curiosity and made me ask the above question.

I wish I had the soft copy of the FORMAT of the registers either in MS excel or word. A Caclub member suggested I look for it in Share File section. But unfortunately I could not find it.
