Details of Audit Qualifications
The audit qualified the financial statements based on five main areas, stemming from fraud allegations and material transactions lacking proper documentation.Fraudulent Activities by Former CFO
One primary qualification relates to fraudulent activities discovered in previous reviews involving the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Director Mr Ankit Sharma. A special audit determined that unauthorized fund transfers amounting to 88,17,931/- occurred during the financial year 2024-25. These funds have not been recovered as of the report date. The company is currently in the process of initiating legal and disciplinary proceedings regarding this loss, for which no provision had initially been made in the financial statements.The management acknowledged these irregularities and stated that they had filed a complaint (Compliant no. 801012509075 dated 13.02.2025) against Mr Ankit Sharma regarding the legal action. The auditors noted that until the full financial effect of the fraud is accounted for, the financial statements do not present a true and fair view, necessitating the qualification.
Unverified Transactions and Commitments
The qualifications also cover several major transactions where management was unable to provide sufficient supporting documentation:- Convertible Warrants: Regarding a resolution passed at an Annual General Meeting on 10.09.2024, where 14,25,00,000 fully convertible warrants were allotted, the auditors noted that there is insufficient evidence to satisfy that the amount received for the warrant issue price was utilized as per the approved purpose.
- Land Purchase Advance: A company advance of Rs 5,32,20,571/- given up to June 30, 2026, for land purchase in Gurugram could not be supported by proper documents provided by management.
- Loans and Advances: The company has issued Loans & Advances totaling Rs 21,44,00,000/- as of June 30, 2026. Management was unable to provide documentation or the nature of these advances, leading auditors to state that there is no adequate documentary evidence supporting their intended purpose.
- Training Expenses: The payment of Rs 6,37,09,996/- against Training expenses payable could not be substantiated by supporting documents provided to the auditors.
Management stated that for all these matters—including the warrants and transactions—they have noted the deficiencies and will take steps to comply or provide the necessary information in subsequent periods.
