of dividend on their existing capitals fetch a higher price than their facevalue in the market. When shares are issued at a price higher than theface value, they are said to be issued at a premium. Thus, the excess ofissue price over the face value is the amount of premium. For example,if a share of ` 10 is issued at ` 12, ` (12 – 10) = ` 2 is the premium.The premium on issue of shares must not be treated as revenue profits.On the contrary, it must be regarded as capital receipt. The CompaniesAct requires that when a company issues shares at a premium whetherfor cash or otherwise, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of thepremium collected on shares must be credited to a separate accountcalled “Securities Premium Account”. There are no restrictions in theCompanies Act on the issue of shares at a premium, but there arerestrictions on its disposal. Under Section 52(2) of the Companies Act2013, the Securities Premium Account may be applied by the company:(a) towards the issue of unissued shares of the company to the

members of the company as fully paid bonus shares;(b) in writing off the preliminary expenses of the company;(c) in writing off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount

The division ofwork among joint auditors as well as the areas of work to be covered by allof them should be adequately documented and preferably communicated tothe entity.Reporting Responsibilities : Normally, the joint auditors are able to arriveat an agreed report. However, where the joint auditors are in disagreementwith regard to any matters to be covered by the report, each one of themshould express his own opinion through a separate report. A joint auditor isnot bound by the view of the majority of the joint auditors regarding mattersto be covered in the report and should express his opinion in a separatereport in case of a disagreement.
