B. EXPLANATION TO THE QUALIFICATION IN AUDITORSâ REPORT
The Directors submit their explanation to the qualifications made by the Auditors in their report for the year 2017-18. The relevant Para nos. of the report and reply are as under:
Qualification and Managementâs Reply for Standalone
Audit Report:
1. As stated in Notes 11.2 and 11.3 to the standalone financial statements, the Companyâs current financial assets as at 31 March 2018 include trade receivables and unbilled work aggregating Rs. 6,616.13 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 6,616.13 lakhs) and Rs. 3,835.47 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 3,074.86 lakhs) respectively, in respect of projects which were closed/terminated by the clients and where the matters are currently under litigation/negotiations and trade receivables aggregating Rs. 55,396.37 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 23,507.17 lakhs) in respect of projects which were closed/ substantially closed and where the receivables have been outstanding for a substantial period. The Management has assessed that no adjustments are required to the carrying value of the aforesaid balances, which is not in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 109, âFinancial Instruments. In the absence of sufficient appropriate evidence to support the managementâs contention of recoverability of these balances, we are unable to comment upon the adjustments, if any, that are required to the carrying value of the aforesaid balances, and consequential impact, if any, on the accompanying standalone financial statements. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 was also qualified in respect of these matters.
2 As stated in Note 18.4 of the standalone financial statements, the Companyâs non-current borrowings, short-term borrowings and other current financial liabilities as at 31 March 2018 include balances aggregating to Rs. 9,324.24 lakhs, Rs. 294.21 lakhs and Rs.11,510.27 lakhs respectively in respect of which direct confirmations from the respective lenders have not been received. These borrowings have been classified into current and non-current, basis the original maturity terms stated in the agreements which is not in accordance with the terms of the agreements in the event of defaults in repayment of borrowings. Further, whilst we have been able to perform alternate procedures with respect to certain balances, in the absence of confirmations from the lenders, we are unable to comment on the adjustments, if any, that may be required to the carrying value of these balances on account of changes, if any, to the terms and conditions of the transactions, and consequential impact, on the accompanying standalone financial statements.
3 Auditorâs Qualification on the Internal Financial Controls relating to above matters:
In our opinion, according to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit procedures performed, the following material weakness has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the Companyâs Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting as at 31 March 2018:
The Companyâs internal financial controls in respect of supervisory and review controls over process of determining impairment allowance for trade receivables which are doubtful of recovery and assessment of recoverability of unbilled work, were not operating effectively. Absence of detailed assessment conducted by the management for determining the recoverability of trade receivables and unbilled work that remain long outstanding, in our opinion, could result in a potential material misstatement to the carrying value of trade receivables and unbilled work and consequently, could also impact the loss (financial performance including comprehensive income) after tax.
A âmaterial weaknessâ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companyâs annual financial statements or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the standalone financial statement of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 March 2018 and the material weakness has effected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial statements.
