As far as my knowledge goes, CSR is to be disclosed, if applicable, in the director's report. Auditor's dont have to comment on its compliance. However, i think if you have come across a case where company is covered to have CSR policy and company has not complied with requirement, it should be highlighted in the audit report. Not as a qualification but may be by way of emphasis to matter. Thats my personal opinion. Other experts pls confirm.
