Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a company's auditor can also certify Form AOC-4, which is used to file financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). While not explicitly prohibited, it's generally advised that a separate practising Chartered Accountant, Cost Accountant, or Company Secretary certifies the AOC-4. Small companies are exempt from this verification requirement.

Form AOC 4 is used to file the financial statements for each financial year with the Registrar of Companies (ROC)

AOC-4 must be certified by a full-time practicing Chartered Accountant/Cost Accountant/ Company Secretary has to provide a declaration stating he/she has verified all the documents attached and he/she certifies all the information to be true, correct and complete. 

 

Though it is no where mention that Auditor of a Company cannot certify  AOC-4, however it is advise to certify from CA or Professional other than Auditor.

Thank you so much
No need to verify in case of small company
