A company's annual report contains, alongside the financial statements, MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY, CSR REPORTING, and BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY REPORTING. These supplementary reports are:
AOutside the scope of Ind AS / AS standards but NOT outside the scope of regulation — they remain regulated by other applicable laws/regulations (e.g., Companies Act, SEBI rules)
BOptional in their entirety — no regulatory requirement applies
CWithin the scope of Ind AS and require auditor sign-off as financial statements
DRestricted to companies with foreign subsidiaries only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Outside the scope of Ind AS / AS standards but NOT outside the scope of regulation — they remain regulated by other applicable laws/regulations (e.g., Companies Act, SEBI rules)
Ind AS 1 acknowledges that supplementary reports (management commentary, CSR, BR reporting) may be presented OUTSIDE financial statements. They are outside the scope of Ind AS / AS but ARE regulated by the Companies Act 2013 (Sec 134, Schedule VII) and SEBI LODR for listed entities. Auditors don't sign them as financial statements but may issue limited assurance reports under other engagements.
