They overlooked critical signals of potential financial irregularities communicated by the previously resigned auditor and failed to investigate or challenge the company's management on these points. The auditors issued an audit report that included an EoM paragraph suggesting no significant issues under section 143(12) of the Companies Act, which was misleading given the substantial evidence to the contrary. A monetary penalty of ₹3 crore was imposed on M/s Pathak H.D. & Associates. - Separate penalties imposed on EP and EQCR Partners.
