Among others, the panel would look at whether there is an adverse impact on Indian audit firms from restrictive shareholder covenants and through the manner in which audit rotation is being implemented by companies.
"The time period provided to the expert group constituted for looking into the issues related to audit firms and submitting its report is extended till January 15, 2017," the Ministry said in a communication dated December 2.

The panel would also examine whether joint audit could be introduced in cases where there are restrictive covenants and other specified cases where there is a multinational audit firm as the auditor.
In case a joint audit is to be implemented, then the legal and regulatory steps towards the same would be looked into.
"Several audit firms have represented about adverse impact on Indian audit firms due to the structuring of certain audit firms leading to circumvention of various regulations and imposition of restrictive conditions by foreign investors with regard to auditor appointment by companies," the Ministry had said while announcing constituting the panel in September. #casansaar (PTI - Economic Times)
