Company Delegation for Auditing

Auditors can now delegate the various areas of audit to articles/audit clerks. The option, Company Delegation, can be used to delegate entire companies on Tally.ERP 9 to audit team members. By default, the Tally.NET Auditor ID which is authorised by the Client for a given Company will have access to that Company and the articles will not get the access.

Note: Tally.ERP 9 does not allow multiple level of delegations and a Company once delegated to an article cannot be re-delegated by the article to any other article. Example, if Company A has authorised the tallynetauditor1@abc.com, then only the authorised auditor can access that Company and his articles will not be able to access the Company A.

If tallynetauditor1@abc.com wants to provide this company access to any of his articles, then he has to do it exclusively from the Control Centre, provided the article is already added/created as Tally.NET Auditor in one of the accounts.

Also, the article in turn will not be able to re-delegate the Company to anyone else.

2.     Click A: New Delegation.
