    Preparation of Prospectus:

    Generally, the public issues of companies are handled by Merchant

    Bankers who are responsible for getting the project appraised, finalizing the

    cost of the project, profitability estimates and for preparing of Prospectus.

    The Prospectus is submitted to SEBP for its approval.

    For example: - Abridged Prospectus is a shorter version of the Prospectus

    and contains all the salient features of a Prospectus. It accompanies the

    application form of public issues.

    A large number of new companies float public issues. While a large number

    of these companies are genuine, quite a few may want to exploit the

    investors. Therefore, it is very important that an investor before applying for

    any issue identifies future potential of a company A part of the guidelines

    issued by SEBP (Securities and Exchange Board of Pakistan) is the

    disclosure of information to the public. This disclosure includes information

    like the reason for raising the money, the way money is proposed to be

    spent, the return expected on the money etc. This information is in the form

    of Prospectus which also includes information regarding the size of the

    issue, the current status of the company, its equity capital, its current and

    past performance, the promoters, the project, cost of the project, means of

    financing, product and capacity etc. It also contains lot of mandatory

    information regarding underwriting and statutory compliances. This helps

    investors to evaluate short term and long term prospects of the company.

    Stockholders are granted special privileges depending on the class of stock.

    These rights may include:

    The right to vote on matters such as elections to theboard of directors.

    Usually, stockholders have one vote per share owned, but sometimes

    this is not the case.

    The right to propose shareholder resolutions.

    The right to share in distributions of the company's income.

    The right to purchase new shares issued by the company.

    The right to a company's assets during a liquidation of the company.

    However, stockholder's rights to a company's assets are subordinate to the

    rights of the company's creditors. This means that stockholders typically

    receive nothing if a company is liquidated afterbankruptcy (if the company

    had had enough to pay its creditors, it would not have entered bankruptcy,although a stock may have value after a bankruptcy if there is the possibility

    that the debts of the company will be restructured).

    concealment or misrepresentation as aforesaid, every such officershall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may

    extend to one year, or with fine, or with both.

    effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the

    deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources,

    technological resources, and natural resources.

    The Auditor of Limited Company

    Auditor

    An auditor is a person who makes an independent report to a company'smembers as to whether the company has prepared its financial statements

    in accordance with company law and the applicable financial reporting

    framework. The report must also state whether a company's accounts give

    a true and fair view of its affairs at the end of the year.

    How do I appoint an auditor?

    An auditor must be appointed for each financial year, unless the directors

    reasonably resolve otherwise on the ground that audited accounts are

    unlikely to be required. The rules are different for public and private

    companies.

    For public companies, the directors appoint the first auditor of the company.

    The auditor then holds office until the end of the first meeting of the

    company at which the directors lay its accounts before the members. At that

    meeting, the members of the company can re-appoint the auditor, or appoint

    a different auditor, to hold office from the end of that meeting until the end

    of the next meeting at which the directors lay accounts.

    For private companies, the directors appoint the first auditor of the company.

    The members may then appoint or re-appoint an auditor each year at a

    meeting of the company's members, or by written resolution, within 28 days

    of the directors sending the accounts to the members. If they do not do so for

    a particular year, however, the appointed auditor remains in office until the

    members pass a resolution to reappoint him or to remove him as auditor (5%

    9

  • 8/8/2019 Different aspects of companies and penalties

    10/23

    of members, or fewer if the articles say so, can force the consideration of a

    resolution to remove an auditor). This provision about remaining in office,

    however, does not apply if the auditors most recent appointment was by the

    directors or the companys articles require annual appointment.

    Section259. Penalty for non-compliance with provisions by

    companies.-

    If default is made by a company in complying with any of the

    provisions of sections 252 to 254 or 256 to 258, the company and

    every officer of the company who is knowingly and wilfully a

    party to the default shall be punishable with fine which may

    extend to fifty thousand rupees and in the case of continuing

    default to a further fine which may extend to two thousand rupees

    for every day after the first during which the default continues.

    Section260. Penalty for non-compliance with provisions byauditors. -

    (1) If any auditor's report is made, or any document of the

    company is signed or authenticated otherwise than in

    conformity with the requirements of section 157, section 255

    or section 257 or is otherwise untrue or fails to bring out

    material facts about the affairs of the company or matter towhich it purports to relate, the auditor concerned and the

    person, if any, other than the auditor who signs the report or

    sign or authenticates the document, and in the case of a firm

    all partners of the firm, shall, if the default is willful, be

    punishable with fine which may extend to one hundred

    thousand rupees.

    (2) If the auditor's report to which sub-section (1) applies is made

    with the intent to profit such auditor or any other person or to put another person to a disadvantage or loss or for a material consideration, the

    auditor shall, in addition to the penalty provided by that sub-section, be

    punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year

    and with fine which may extend to one hundred thousand rupees.

    regulations. NBFCs do offer all sorts of banking services, such as loans

    Court Order

    (a) The penalty was not imposed on just one misstatement but was

    a collective penalty for all the misstatements made by theAppellant. Further, these were not just typographical errors as

    the whole annual report was dubious due to the fact that

    Hameed Khan and Co shown as auditors in the annual

    accounts who had conducted the audit of the Appellant in fact

    through their letter dated 17-9-09 informed the Respondent

    that they have never audited the Accounts of year 2007 and

    2008 of the Appellant. It was contended that the annual report

    is false and forged, and the management of the Appellant has

    defraud its stakeholders. It was further argued that therequirements of disclosing the pattern of shareholding in the

    annual report and in form A are two separate requirements of

    the Ordinance, and mere correction in the latter does not

    exempt the Appellant from applicability of section 492 of the

    Ordinance.

    have submitted fake audited annual accounts which is violation

    penalize the Appellant for making wrong statements in the

    Accounts.

    the provisions of section 492 of the Ordinance. The maximum

    Conclusion:

    We know that business is an economic activity, which is carried out on a

    regular basis to earn profit. The biggest challenge today is linking

    incentives to performance both large and small organizations have madea variety of efforts to do so, with mixed results. The problems have

    ranged from a lack of communication to a change in the business

    environment. Another aspect is to knowing the rules of regulation which

    is very primary thing to follow as we above discuss and analyze that how

    companies doing irregularities and punished by the authorities.

    There is the need for SECP to fix limits on insurance companies

    generating premium income. According to them, the mad rush for

    generating premium income be better tied to an agreed uniform method

    of indexation, its net solvency margins, paid up capital and free reservesetc. Such a prudent policy adopted by SECP is deemed necessary for the

    industry to grow on healthy lines which would help and guide the

    insurance companies to undertake proper risk analysis, adopt risk

    management techniques and rate the risk adequately. Insurance

    companies with good arrangements must not waste their automatic

    reinsurance capacities due to arbitrary fixation of single risk limits

    imposed by the banks. Here again there is no uniform policy adopted by

    the banks and it is expected of SECP to play its due part in resolving the

    issue.

    Recommendations:

    Companies showing wrong statements to attract new customer and

    shareholder which is totally wrong thing. My recommendation is only to the

    organization that they should conceder the rules and regulation which is the

    essential part of business. There is nothing above from the law and its

    respect is significant part of our life.
