Case Stimulus
The Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 has classifications and responsibilities for various types of companies incorporated under it. A particular class that has received more attention in recent times and in the Act is small companies. Your audit team has been approached by a few of these small companies for guidance on the issue and your team has been assigned this responsibility. Part of the concerns of your firm is whether or not those small companies merit the concerns of regulatory authorities and the accounting firms that have to be responsible for their audit. Your team has a number of young assistants who are yet to understand the differences and therefore need enlightenment on this as part of the training programmes.
