Disclaimer by ICAI

The UDIN System has been developed by ICAI to facilitate its members for securing the documents, reports, certificates signed/ certified/ issued by them so as to prevent the misrepresentation/forgery caused by NonChartered Accountants. The Portal provides ease of e-verification to the Regulators, Banks, other stakeholders etc. whereby they can verify the documents and ascertain the authenticity thereof as to whether such documents have been certified by full-time Practicing Chartered Accountants. However, ICAI assumes no responsibility of the certification / opinion / report issued / certified by the Chartered Accountants and the concerned Chartered Accountant shall alone be responsible therefor. Needless to mention that mere generation of UDIN in respect of any document/ report/ certificate would not make it authentic unless the applicable provisions of Code of Ethics, Accounting and Auditing Standards, Guidance Notes and other Guidelines/ Notifications issued by ICAI have not been complied with while certifying/issuing such document/ report/ certificate.
