ICAI to issue audit guidance for multi-state cooperatives
In short
ICAI is set to issue guidance on a new audit reporting framework for multi-state cooperative societies. The cooperation ministry published the Multi-State Co-operative Societies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2026, on October 14.
This matters because auditors will need to follow a more structured reporting process. The reporting does not say when the guidance note will be released or what changes will be in it.
