The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) yesterday signed an agreement with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) to plug the scope for unruly companies to prepare fake audit reports to evade taxes and borrow from banks.
The FRC, an independent oversight body, will monitor the financial statements of companies based on an application termed document verification system (DVS) developed by the ICAB to prevent unruly firms from submitting falsified or multiple audited financial statements. This will increase compliance and improve the transparency of audited financial statements by companies, said FRC Chairman Md Hamid Ullah Bhuiyan after the signing of the agreement at the ICAB in Dhaka.
