Dear Concern,
Greetings of the day!
A company of Bihar, Patna incorporated on 31/05/2016 has to pay stamp duty in Bihar only. Its total equity shares are 10,000 @ Rs 10 each and preference shares of 17000 at face value only. Kindly inform if anyone stays there only who can get share certificates signed and duly stamped, please contact me and let me know estimated cost / fees for the same.
As per relevant section of companies act 2013, The cost audit shall be conducted by a [Cost Accountant] who shall be appointed by the Board on such remuneration as may be determined by the members in such manner as may be prescribed. Does it means that cost audit can also be done by Cost Accountant in Employment?

Dear Members!

his term ?
Dear All,
I have tried to search and read out law and found that it is not mandatory to approve the Cost Audit Statements in a duly convened board meeting only.
Any professional please confirm on the contrary views if any with supportive provisions.
