The Independent கணக்காய்வாளர்'s Report is the audit's final artefact, filed with ROC, submitted to the IT department, shared with the board. CORAA structures the sign-off as a seven-step workflow governed by SA 700, 701, 705, and 706. Each step is gated; UDIN cannot be issued until every blocker clears. The IAR draft renders live alongside the workflow, capturing every confirmation.
Two paths to the same audit conclusion. One leaves traces; the other doesn't.
Step 1 classifies every finding per SA 450 (Resolved, Caveat, Uncorrected Misstatement, Material Weakness). Step 2 confirms the materiality memo is locked. Step 3 picks the Opinion type, Unmodified, Qualified, Adverse, or Disclaimer, with the engine's recommendation based on findings disposition and the SA 570 Going Concern conclusion.
Step 4 renders the IAR draft per SA 700 with a live preview pane. Form 3CA vs Form 3CB selected here. SA 706 Emphasis of Matter and Other Matter paragraphs optional. Step 5 addresses CARO 2020's 21 clauses. Step 6 identifies Key Audit Matters per SA 701 (listed entities only).
The partner electronically signs the IAR. UDIN is generated on the UDIN portal API. The IAR becomes immutable in the எங்கேஜ்மென்ட் Log, every prior step's decision preserved. Pre-conditions: all findings classified, materiality locked, Sch III balanced, Notes reviewed/final, Opinion confirmed, CARO complete, கணக்காய்வாளர் CA details captured.
UDIN cannot issue until every blocker clears. The Sign-off step renders each unmet condition with the action required and a one-click route to the blocking page.
Based on findings disposition and SA 570 Going Concern conclusion, CORAA recommends an Opinion type. Unresolved findings above PM → Qualified or Adverse. Going Concern Inappropriate → Adverse. Insufficient ஆதாரம் → Disclaimer. The கணக்காய்வாளர் confirms or overrides; both are captured.
Step 4 renders the IAR draft live in a preview pane as the கணக்காய்வாளர் advances through the prior steps. Form 3CA vs 3CB form picker, SA 706 EOM and Other Matter paragraphs optional, sign-block metadata captured.
UDIN issuance is the final action. Before the system issues UDIN, every one of the seven sign-off blockers must clear. The UDIN portal API call carries the எங்கேஜ்மென்ட்'s complete decision history; the IAR locks into the எங்கேஜ்மென்ட் Log immutably.
