Against Angel One Mutual Fund, DSP Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual Fund, PGIM India Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual Fund
- Angel One Mutual FundGovernance concern: Non-Compliant Audit Committee. Absence of a compliant Audit Committee casts serious doubts over the integrity/ accuracy of the financial statements.
- DSP Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual FundWe have relied upon the auditors’ report, which has not raised concerns on the standalone and consolidated financial statements. We note that the auditors have highlighted certain issues with the audit trail. Based on the auditors’ report, which is unqualified, the financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies and Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS). However, we raise concern that the company has not constituted an audit committee in line with regulations and does not have sufficient independent directors on the board, even while the accounts were finalized. In the absence of critical oversight provided by the audit committee, we are unable to support the resolution.
