Hence we are compelled to cancel the Executive Council and Annual General Body Meeting of AICF scheduled for 14 June 2024. The new date and time of these meetings will be informed soon.”

But on July 2, AICF secretary Dev A Patel had sent out the notice calling the annual general body meeting and the agenda to the members.

AICF president Nitin Narang and secretary Patel, when contacted, did not respond to an IANS query on the availability of audited accounts, possibility of change in auditors.

It is not known whether the AICF plans to appoint a new firm to audit its books.
