Revenue Recognition as per Ind AS 115: The Company recognizes revenues from sales including high seas sales when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the net consideration, which the Company expects to receive for those goods from customers. In determining the sales price, the Company considers the effects of rebates and discounts. The terms of sales arrangements, including the timing of transfer of control, based on the terms of relevant contract and nature of discount and rebates arrangements, create complexities that require judgment in determining sales revenues. Considering the above factors and the risk associated with revenue recognition, we have determined the same to be a key audit matter |
Our audit procedures included, among others the following: 1. We read and evaluated the Companyâs revenue recognition policy and assessed its compliance in terms of Ind AS 115 âRevenue from contracts with customersâ. We assessed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls related to sales and applicable rebates/discounts. 2. We performed test for a sample of individual sales transaction by comparing the underlying sales invoices, sales orders and dispatch documents to assess that revenue is recognized on transfer of control over those goods to the customer, discount schemes as approved by the management to assess its accounting. We tested on a sample basis; sales transactions made prior to year-end and post-year end, and checked the period of revenue recognition with reference to underlying documents.
