To ensure proper compliance of intermediaries operations and internal control mechanism, SEBI has prescribed certain audit requirements which needs to be complied on a periodical basis as certified by a competent Professional like Company Secretaries or Chartered Accountants. There are material transactions, related party transactions, pool accounts, positions, KYC norms and what not makes intermediaries legal life more complex. Adding to this is the SEBI surveillance on capital market compliances through its wide range of regulations, circulars, notifications and that too, which are frequently amended to suit the market conditions. Further, NSDL and CDSL also mandate certain audits on a periodical basis which also needs to be complied with.
