Applicability of Cost Audit Report and Cost Compliance Report

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in 2011 mandated the filing of cost audit and cost compliance reports. However, since then, new requirements have been introduced, which led to changes in the applicability of these reports, such as filing these reports in machine-readable XBRL format, paying fees to appoint a cost auditor, and more.
