Common questions

FAQs.

What CARO clauses draw directly on this working paper?
Clause (ix) — default in repayment of loans or borrowings, wilful defaulter status, and end-use of term-loan funds — and clause (iii) if the entity has also given loans or guarantees to others.
What's checked for compliance beyond just the loan balance?
Sanction letters and terms — interest rate, security, covenants — whether financial covenants were complied with, and, for related-party borrowings, Section 185/186 compliance.
Why does end-use of borrowed funds matter to the auditor?
CARO clause (ix)(c)/(d) specifically requires reporting whether term loans were applied for the purpose they were sanctioned for — diversion of borrowed funds is a reportable matter, not just a lending-covenant issue.
