Related Party Transactions - An Audit PerspectiveJRA & Associates
Related Parties could be any KMP (Key Managerial Personnel), stockholder or a related corporation. The existence of a large number of family owned business houses in India has also contributed to the natural occurrence of related party transactions. At their very outset, contracts or agreements with related parties are viewed sceptically, the reason being preconceived notion of being entered into on account of non-commercial considerations. After all, relationships do play an influential role in businesses as well.
Further, transactions with related parties are taken as one of the most common tool of 'tax management'. At times, the Company’s funds get diverted for personal gains of the directors & other related persons. Few cases such as Enron, Satyam and WorldCom have clearly highlighted the potential conflict of interests between the Company and its stakeholders as a result of undisclosed RPTs.
Though effective laws and regulations have now been implemented to ensure better transparency, but keeping a closer check over such transactions still remains the need of hour.Most of the provisions under the dealing Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013 are quite similar to the ones laid down under Sections 297 and 314 of the Companies Act, 1956. Some of the key changes envisaged in the Act 2013 include a broader ambit of transactions such as leasing of property of any kind, appointment of any agent for purchase and sale of goods, services or property. Compulsory disclosure requirements have now been laid down under the new Act, failing which, stricter provisions of penalty & imprisonment would be applicable.
Let us try to understand the audit perspective of identifying the checks & reporting of related party transactions under various Indian laws - Companies Act 2013, Accounting Standard 18, SEBI’s Corporate Governance norms and the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

10. For the purpose of this Standard, the following terms are used
with the meanings specified:
10.1 Related party - parties are considered to be related if at any time during the reporting period
one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other
party in making financial and/or operating decisions.
10.2 Related party transaction - a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties,
regardless of whether or not a price is charged.
10.3 Control – (a) ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than one half of the voting power of an
enterprise, or
(b) control of the composition of the board of directors in the case of a company or of the
composition of the corresponding governing body in case of any other enterprise, or
(c) a substantial interest in voting power and the power to direct, by statute or agreement, the
financial and/or operating policies of the enterprise.
10.4 Significant influence - participation in the financial and/or operating policy decisions of an
enterprise, but not control of those policies.
10.5 An Associate - an enterprise in which an investing reporting party has significant influence

10.9 Relative – in relation to an individual, means the spouse, son, daughter, brother, sister, father
and mother who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in his/her dealings
with the reporting enterprise.
10.10 Holding company - a company having one or more subsidiaries.
10.11 Subsidiary - a company:
(a) in which another company (the holding company) holds,either by itself and/or through one or
more subsidiaries, more than one-half in nominal value of its equity share capital; or
(b) of which another company (the holding company) controls, either by itself and/or through one or
more subsidiaries, the composition of its board of directors.
10.12 Fellow subsidiary - a company is considered to be a fellow subsidiary of another company if
both are subsidiaries of the same holding company.
10.13 State-controlled enterprise - an enterprise which is under thecontrol of the Central Government
and/or any State Government(s).
12. An enterprise is considered to have a substantial interest in another enterprise if that enterprise
owns, directly or indirectly, 20 per cent or more interest in the voting power of the other
enterprise. Similarly, an individual is considered to have a substantial interest in an enterprise, if that
individual owns, directly or indirectly, 20 per cent or more interest in the voting power nof the
enterprise.
13. Significant influence may be exercised in several ways, for example, by representation on
the board of directors, participation in the policy making process, material inter-company
transactions, interchange of managerial personnel, or dependence on technical information. Significant
influence may be gained by share ownership, statute or agreement. As regards share ownership, if
an investing party holds, directly or indirectly through intermediaries, 20 per cent or more of the
voting power of the enterprise, it is presumed that the investing party does have significant influence,
unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. Conversely, if the investing party holds,
directly or indirectly through intermediaries, less than 20 per cent of the voting power of the
enterprise, it is presumed that the investing party does not have significant influence, unless such
influence can be clearly demonstrated. A substantial or majority ownership by another investing party
does not necessarily preclude an investing party from having significant influence.
