Cost audit under cost audit rules 2014

Others 257 views 6 replies

Dear Experts - 

Need clarification

Assuming Cost audit is applicable to a company ( not a micro or small company under MSME act)  having multiple product or multiple services. Say X, Y & Z ( assuming Table B - unregulated for cost audit rules) 

Turnover in 2015-16 of X ( not covered under Table B)  - 80 Crore , Turnover Y(covered under  Table B )  - 25 Crore , Turnover of  Z (covered under Table Z) - 20 crore.

1) Is cost audit applicable for 2016-17, even if the turnover falls below 100 crore (all products put together)?

2) What is the Turnover  to be recokoned for cost audit purpose under rule 4 .

3) As a cost auditor, do we have to carrycost audit of all the products i.e including X ( Assumed it is also not covered under Table A), or no whether no cost audit is applicable - as the individual turnover of Y, and Z is below 35 crore?

4) Or carry only limited cost audit of products Y and Z as the aggregate value of Y and Z is more than 35 crore?

Since company Turnover is above 100 Cr. and Turnover of Cost Audit covered product is more than 35 Cr. Then Cost Audit will be applicable on the Company.

Dear Satish Kumar Gupta,

Thanks - 

But my query on 3 , and  4 is unanswered. In my view, since the cost auditor is the cost auditor of the company and not of the cost auditor of selective products of the company, hence , he has to carry out cost audit of all the products and not only those which are threshold based products.

 Is my view above view correct? Or should the cost auditor carry out selective cost audit of only those products i.e Y and Z of the above example and ignore financials transactions concerning product X, while conducting cost audit. Appreciate a  reply

Once Cost Audit Applicable on Company, it is applicable for all products and services only reporting will be limited till Audit covered products.

Since reconciliation with financials is must then cost Auditor can not leave any product. all the expenses will be allocate on products as per Costing standards.

there is not any rules to appoint only cost Auditor for stock Audit you can appoint CA also.
Only in case of Cost Audit you have to appoint Cost Auditor only.
