Audit Issues and Material Concerns​

The company’s financial results were subject to a Qualified Opinion from the independent auditor. The auditors highlighted several material concerns regarding compliance and asset valuation:

Financial & Compliance Observations:
  • Tax Liabilities: A significant outstanding income tax provision of 127.86 lakhs was noted, as corresponding entries had not been recorded in the company’s books of account.
  • Statutory Dues: Unpaid TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and TCS (Tax Collected at Source) totaling 10.89 lakhs were found to be outstanding.

Asset & Operations Risks:
  • Inventory Valuation: The auditors noted uncertainty regarding the valuation of inventory due to the absence of a physical verification report, adding that management valued the Inventory only at Cost, which is inconsistent with accounting standards requiring valuation at the lower of cost or Net Realizable Value (NRV).
  • Receivable Uncertainty: A material concern was raised regarding Trade Receivables amounting to 1484.49 lakhs due to a lack of direct confirmation from debtors.
