Gaps flagged throughout the year

Common questions

Is this different from the Secretarial Audit Report under Section 204?

Yes - this is a SEBI-mandated report focused on LODR compliance, distinct from (though related to) the broader Section 204 secretarial audit for larger companies.

Can our own company secretary certify this report?

No - it must be certified by an independent Practicing Company Secretary, not an in-house employee.

What happens if gaps are found during the audit?

Gaps must be disclosed in the report itself - we help remediate them proactively before filing wherever possible.
