28.EXPLANATION TO AUDITORS REMARKS IN AUDITORS REPORT
I. Remarks in Statutory Audit Report and reply by management-
1. We draw attention to the Note - 12 of the financial statements, which discloses a debit balance of Rs. 205.09 Lakhs in the directors ledger account, representing an amount receivable from the director.
The management has indicated that this balance pertains to payments made to the director for expenses incurred on behalf of the company. However, in the absence of supporting documentation such as invoices or vouchers, these expenses have not been recorded in the books of account.
In accordance with Ind AS 37, recognition of such amounts requires sufficient and appropriate evidence. The absence of such evidence gives rise to uncertainty regarding the existence and recoverability of the balance.
Furthermore, as this constitutes a related party transaction under Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, the requisite disclosures under Section 134(3)(n) and Ind AS 24 are applicable.
Our audit procedures to verify the existence and recoverability of this balance were limited due to lack of documentary evidence.
Reply by management - The Director in question has submitted a working of payments made by him on behalf of the Company, which are to be offset against this amount, as per him. The Company is reviewing the details given by the director along with the supporting evidences, however, due to non-availability of staff the same has not yet been completed.
2. For the balance outstanding to the credit of the Statement of Profit and loss under the head "Unbilled Revenue", no Invoices have been raised by the company, till the date of issuance of this report and as such, the balance remains the same till date. In absence of relevant details, the balance amount of the said item could not be verified and thereby the compliance with Ind AS 115 - Revenue from contract with customer could not be verified.
Reply by management- Company is collating the details of unbilled revenue for record purpose.
3. During the year, the company has not collected interest on the loans advanced and advances outstanding as at 31st March, 2024.
Reply by management- The loans and advances given were trade advances without interest and hence the same is not collected.
4. The reconciliation and verification of the statutory dues, outstanding and paid, could not be made as the relevant details have not been provided to us.
Reply by management- Company is in process of reconciliation and verification of the statutory dues, outstanding and paid.
5. The company had made an advance payment of Rs. 599.70 lakhs standing as opening balance since past many years as an advance for the purpose of acquiring an immovable property. However, till date, no acquisition has been made against such advance.
Reply by management- The Company has not made the balance payment towards the acquisition, and hence the acquisition is pending.
6. Expected Credit Loss Provision has not been provided on the advances given by the company, and thereby, there is an inconsistency of Accounting Policies in the financial statements as well as non-compliance of Ind AS 109.
Reply by management- Company is expecting those advances to be recoverable and hence provision of expected credit loss is not made.
7. Documentation regarding major expenditure have not been made available for the purpose of verification. Also, the third party confirmations for - trade payables, trade receivables, parties to whom advances have been made, parties from whom unsecured loans have been taken - have not been provided by the company and thereby the said balances are not confirmed to that extent.
Reply by management- The soft copies of invoices were shared with Auditor, however they were insisting on providing physical copies. Due to non-availability of staff, the same could not be completed.
8. An amount of payment due to be paid against the purchase of property to the tune of Rs. 331.26 Lakhs reflecting under the head of Sundry Creditors , has been booked as income during the year by the company.
Reply by management- The balance amount due against purchase of property is not payable and hence same is booked as income.
9. The bifurcation of MSME and Non-MSME debtors and creditors has not been made by the company and to that extent the requirements of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 have not been complied with.
Reply by management- Due to non-availability of staff, we are not able to provide bifurcation for the same.
10. The company has received an Interim order from SEBI regarding certain transactions being alleged as fictitious transactions, in which Varanium Cloud Ltd, and its director Harshvardhan Samble are also involved. However, the said order has been challanged by the earstwhile director Shri Rahul Belwalkar in the Honle Bombay High court. However, the evidence for such challenged in the Honle Bombay High Court is not provided by the company. As regards to the transactions carried out with Varanium Cloud Ltd., there are credit notes issued to the said entity and thereby the sales made in the earlier financial year has been reversed to the tune of Rs. 235.76/- lakhs. The reason behind cancellation, as informed by the management is cancellation of an ongoing project. However, except the representation letter, we have not been provided with any other detail or correspondence of the said cancellation.
Reply by management- Based on the confirmed order from Varnium cloud and assurance of payment in advance, the company had commenced work on project and raised in voice for the same to Varanium Cloud Ltd, however 100% advance payment not having been received, the company stopped working project and cancelled the invoice.
11. A borrowing from HDFC Bank has been repaid during the year as seen from the books of accounts. However, "No due certificate" or bank statement or the relevant records have not been provided by the company to verify the correctness of the said closure of the borrowing.
Reply by management- Company is doing followup with customer care team to obtain no dues certificate.
12. Expenses booked under the head Business promotion expenses, which have been paid through a credit card could not be verified due to non-availibility of statements and other relevant records.
Reply by management- Due to multiple shifting of offices, and shortage of staff, the Company is unable to provide supporting for the credit card statements.
13. We draw attention to the presentation of the financial statements, which mandates the disclosure requirement regarding the share-holding of equity share holder holding more than 5% and share-holding of promoters as per Schedule III of companies Act, 2013. The non-disclosure in the financial statements, in our opinion is a non-compliance of schedule - III.
Reply by management- Company had not received shareholding pattern from RTA and hence the same was not submitted to Auditor. Now the company has received shareholding pattern and same has been uploaded on NSE and BSE. The promoters are not holding shares of company and reclassification of the same is approved in last AGM.
14. We Draw attention to the presentation of the financial statements, which mandates the disclosure requirements regarding the related party details, related party transactions and balance outstanding at the balance sheet date as per Ind AS - 24. The management has informed us that they have not prepared and disclosed the comprehensive list of related parties, the nature and volume of transactions, and the balance outstanding as on the balance sheet date as required by the aforementioned standard. Consequently, we were unable to confirm that all required disclosures regarding related parties, related party transactions, and outstanding balances, which are essential for a proper understanding of the financial statements, have been made. In our opinion, the omission of these disclosures is material to the financial statements.
Reply by management- Related party transaction are shown in notes to accounts.
15. The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees, which falls under the scope of Ind AS 19 on Employee Benefits. This standard requires the gratuity liability, being a Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO), to be measured using the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) method based on an actuarial valuation. Furthermore, the standard mandates extensive disclosures regarding the actuarial assumptions, sensitivity analyses, movement in the DBO, and the net liability recognized in the financial statements.
The management has not provided us with an actuarial valuation report for the gratuity plan as at the balance sheet date, nor have they included the required disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustment was necessary in respect of the gratuity liability and the related expenses recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
We are, therefore, unable to quantify the extent of the understatement of the gratuity liability and the impact of the non-disclosure of the required information on the financial statements. In our opinion, the failure to recognize and disclose the defined benefit obligation in accordance with Ind AS - 19 is material to the financial statements.
Reply by management- Many employees left the organization and hence due to nonavailability of staff the same has been delayed.
16. The preparation and presentation of financial statements require the Company to disclose material information relating to Contingent Liabilities, as mandated by Ind AS 37 on Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets. The management failed to provide us with the necessary documentation and details regarding the following two material items, preventing us from fulfilling our audit responsibilities concerning the disclosure of contingent liabilities:
a. Disputed Statutory Dues: The Company has various ongoing disputes with statutory authorities regarding taxes and other levies. However, the management did not provide a comprehensive schedule detailing the nature, amounts, probability of outflow, and managements estimate of the eventual financial effect for these disputed dues. Consequently, we were unable to verify and assess the adequacy of the disclosures related to material disputed liabilities.
b. Bank Guarantee Commitments: The Company has obtained a Bank Guarantee from its bankers against certain commitments. Management has failed to provide us with the details of the amount, beneficiary, nature of the underlying commitment, and expiry date of this bank guarantee. As a result, the necessary disclosure regarding this financial commitment has been omitted from the notes to the financial statements.
Due to the absence of the requisite details and supporting evidence, we were unable to determine the full impact of these two unquantified exposures on the Companys financial position and the complete and accurate presentation of the notes on contingent liabilities and commitments. The non-disclosure of this information is considered a material noncompliance with the required Indian accounting standards.
Reply by management- With regards to the bank guarantee, the amount was Rs 5 lakh and was not material. It had been taken against a specific clients contract, and when the specific contract ended, the bank guarantee was ended.
II. Remarks in Secretarial Audit Report and reply by management-
