KNOWLEDGE BANK FROM B KANAGA SABAPATHY
LET KNOWLEDGE SPREAD
Message from B. K. sir 19/04.2023
Question :
Last year, for an assessee, I issued a report on cost of construction. Last week, the owner’s auditor has directed his client to obtain an exclusive report from me for the interiors made in the house. Can I give another report when I have already issued a report?
My opinion :
1. You can give. There is nothing wrong. Mention clearly in your report about the scope of valuation. Also, mention about the previous report you have issued and the specific purpose.
2. When the purposes and scopes are different, you can issue two different reports. There seems to be nothing wrong.
3. It is preferable to get an engagement letter from the assessee indicating the purpose and enclose along with your report.
With best wishes,
B. KANAGA SABAPATHY
