The statutory audit was conducted by SRBC & Co LLP.
IL&FS further said the company has approved the appointment of CNK Associates LLP as statutory auditor for FY 2021-22.
SRBC, in a statement, said it was appointed as the statutory auditor of IL&FS in September 2017 and has already served for a continuous period of three years.
As per the new RBI guidelines, this makes SRBC ineligible to continue as the statutory auditor of the company beyond September 30, 2021, it said.
