Mumbai: Price Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants LLP, a network firm of PwC India, has resigned as an auditor of BSE listed Eveready Industries India Ltd<\/a>. (EIIL<\/a>) citing few transactions relating to inter-company deposits.<\/p>\n

EIIL on Saturday told the capital markets that Singhi & Co, Mumbai based audit<\/a> firm, has replaced PwC as the auditor.<\/p>\n

These transactions would now be scrutinised by the incoming auditor and will have to question EIIL about the same.

Accordingly we sent letter dated 24 April 2019 under the provisions of section 143 (12) of Companies Act read with Rule 13 (2) (a)..\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes around the time when the regulators have been going after auditors. From the Reserve Bank of India<\/a> (RBI) to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) have been probing role of auditors in some cases.<\/p>\n

Insiders point out that many large audit firms are relooking at all their audit assignments and want to steer clear of any potential risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn all the cases where auditors are either penalised or being investigated, none of the promoters, companies or banks are being held accountable. This is a huge risk for the auditors and there is a feeling that they are being made aRead More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a>
