FROM THE NFRA CONSULTATION PAPER

Worrisome Statistics

The  data indicates the following key features of MSMCs:
(i) Payments to Auditors12 ((Refer Table 1.6 in Annexure 2 and Annexure 3) 
 There are a large number of Companies (1,81,392 Companies, nearly 30.26%) that have 
reported NIL Payments to Auditors. This perhaps could be data input error indicating lack 
of adequate accounting professionals with many of these companies. 
 A large majority of Companies (2,48,218 Companies accounting for 41.41%) have 
reported small amounts of Payments to Auditors i.e., below ₹25 Thousand. Of these 
Companies, 40,708 Companies have reported extremely small amounts of payments to 
Auditors i.e., below ₹5 Thousand. The estimated standard cost to perform a reasonably good quality audit, in compliance with the letter and spirit of the SAs, for an MSMC, with Turnover below 50 Crores, is in the range of ₹1.50 lakhs to ₹ 8.43 lakhs (Refer Annexure  3). This estimated audit cost is several multiples higher as compared to the presently reported audit fee ranges i.e., a very large percentage of MSMCs have reported Payment to Auditors of less than ₹ 25 thousand. (ii) Turnover (Refer Table 1.4 in Annexure 2):  Of the total number of 5,99,487 MSMCs considered in NFRA’s preliminary research, there are a large number of Companies (2,09,122 Companies accounting for 34.88%) that have reported Nil Turnover (in some cases, there could be data input errors in MCA21). 
 Among the MSMCs that have reported Turnover, a large number of Companies (3,67,019) 
i.e., nearly 61.22% have very low turnover i.e., below ₹ 50 Crores.
