Audit Qualifications
The statutory auditors, DDS & Associates, issued a qualified opinion on the financial results. The qualifications include the company's failure to provide clear classification of creditors regarding registration under the MSMED Act, making it difficult to assess compliance and potential interest liabilities.
Additionally, the auditors noted an outstanding balance in the TDS account amounting to ₹24.33 lakh from FY 2022-23 and other unpaid TDS payables of ₹5.79 lakh from earlier years, citing a lack of adequate documentation. The company also granted unsecured advances and loans aggregating ₹1,526.97 lakh without formal agreements or interest charges, while unsecured loans received of ₹356.23 lakh also lacked formal agreements.
Other qualifications raised concerns regarding the recognition of grant income for skill development projects without internal audit reports, incomplete documentation for certain purchase and sales transactions, and the use of accounting software without an audit trail facility as required by law.
