National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA)
Subject – Economy
Context – ‘NFRA needs to have standalone legislation
Concept –
- The NFRA may take action against auditors for professional misconduct but when it came to other functionaries of a company who have the responsibility for financial reporting, penal powers continue to be vested with the Centre.
- NFRA operated under a single section of the Companies Act, the section did not provide comprehensive coverage of all the functions and powers that are required to constitute the authority as a ‘corporate financial reporting regulator’.
