chartered accountants' apex body ICAI will discuss the changes proposed by regulator NFRA to auditing standard SA 600 on September 17 amid concerns in certain quarters about the suggested updates. Standard on Auditing (SA) 600 broadly pertains to standards applicable in situations where a principal auditor of a company relies on the audit work done by another auditor for a group entity.
