FAQ :
A frequent error is misclassifying capital expenditures, which should be capitalised, as revenue expenditures like repairs and maintenance. This misstatement impacts assets, profits, and depreciation.
Incorrect depreciation, not based on the useful life and method prescribed by Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, misstates both asset values and net profit.
Companies sometimes recognise revenue before the actual delivery of goods or completion of services, or before risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, leading to overstated revenue and profit.
Many companies fail to disclose material transactions and relationships with related parties, such as loans or guarantees, which can conceal conflicts of interest and lead to non-compliance.
Omitting the disclosure of significant contingent liabilities leads to an incomplete presentation of a company's risks.
The Cash Flow Statement is mandatory for most companies and provides a complete financial picture. Its non-preparation can lead to incomplete financials and potential audit qualifications.
