- DThe Institute of Cost Accountants of India
Explanation
The proviso to Section 148(5) states that the report on the audit of cost records shall be submitted by the cost accountant to the Board of Directors of the company. Submission to members or the Registrar is not what the section provides. The company, not the auditor, later furnishes the report to the Central Government under sub-section (6).
