- Fraud means intentional omission or falsifying information to take unjustified advantage. Doing fraud may involve non-compliance. Just any non-compliance cannot be called fraud. If it involves intentional taking unjustified benefit, then it can be termed as fraud.
- Fraud by officer or employee — Report in CARO + Sec 143(12)
Fraud by Company — Report in CARO Only
Fraud by third party on company — No reporting in CARO and No reporting Under Sec 143(12), If it is properly accounted, but it is significant then we may put KAM / EMP / OMP to explain the impact. - SA 240 is applicable to all audits corporates or non-corporates
- Get info check whether more euch frauds, se whether financial impact is properly accounted else report.
- Depends on engagement letter and scope but he should atleast inform management & TCWG as professional responsibility
