It includes mandatory disclosures such as the number of board meetings held, director responsibility statements, fraud details, and explanations for auditor qualifications.For every company, including OPCs and small companies, the report requires details on web links for annual returns, auditor appointments, and disclosures under relevant acts such as the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act. Event-based disclosures include details on ESOPs, vigil mechanisms, and CSR initiatives. The comprehensive nature of these disclosures ensures transparency and accountability in financial and operational reporting.
