What a Cost Auditor does

A cost auditor is a statutory appointee who examines a company's cost accounting records and cost statements for the period covered by the audit, and reports on them. For a manufacturing business such as a sugar and bio-organics company, cost records typically relate to how costs are compiled across products and processes. The role is a compliance and assurance role; it is separate from the statutory financial auditor and from the internal auditor.

How to read this update

• This is an administrative and compliance development concerning a statutory auditor position, not a change in the company's business, plants, products or finances.
• The company has stated a clear next step: filling the casual vacancy within statutory timelines.
• For a reader tracking governance, the item to watch is the eventual appointment of a new cost auditor, which would come through a separate disclosure.

What to keep in mind

Statutory audit and cost audit positions are part of the periodic compliance calendar of a listed company. A vacancy arising from a demise is filled in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules thereunder, and the company has said it will follow that route. The update itself contains no financial or operational information about the business.
