Independent Audit of Community Projects under CSR

The CSR Committee of ICAI has issued an advisory titled ‘Advisory for Independent
Practitioner’s Report on Utilization of CSR Funds'. The advisory states that “Wherever the
company undertakes the CSR activity through a third party / NGO, it is advised that all such
companies should obtain an Independent Practitioner’s Report on Utilisation of such CSR
Funds from the auditor / CA in practice of the third party / NGO, to whom the funds are given
by the Company for implementing CSR activity”. In accordance with ICAI's advisory,
CSR2life aims for transparency in CSR expenses by CSR implementation agencies/NGOs. If a
project undergoes an independent audit, companies have a higher level of trust. CSR2life.com
is a transparent CSR platform which employs an impartial third party to evaluate the
expenditure of projects funded by corporates.
