The government is having a rethink on a proposal to mandate joint audits of large firms by amending the Companies Act, as it weighs larger deliberations on the issue of fixing audit accountability when things go wrong, said a person aware of the details.

In a joint audit, two or more audit firms conduct the audit of a company and produce a single report. The proposal is aimed at improving the audit quality.

If any system of joint auditing is to be made mandatory for companies, it should have a clear-cut provision of fixing responsibilities.
