IR
Dhanush, a CA student undergoing articles, is part of an engagement team conducting audit of Test
C
Enterprises Private Limited. The company is engaged in business of conducting aptitude and language
(A
tests every fortnight at center spread all over major cities of country for Indian students desirous of
m
applying to foreign universities. It also sells books containing model test papers for the benefit of
students.
ri
ra
ao
The company has substantial number of computers at each center to enable seamless experience for
g
students appearing for standardized aptitude and language tests. The company has acquired new
le
iT
identifiable software involving substantial expenditure for conducting tests during the year which is
expected to drive company’s revenues in coming years. At the time of taking a test, a CD containing
Te
software is run in each system for enabling students to take tests. Cost of CD without software is
av
nominal.
R
The revenue of the company during the year 2023-24 was ₹ 50 crores (₹ 45 crores from fees charged
ur
from students and ₹ 5 crores from sale of books). Besides, company has also received ₹ 10 lacs as
A
interest on certain investments during the year. The company has a history of profitable operations.
itg
C
During the course of audit, it is noticed by Dhanush that computers form significant chunk of PPE
items in financial statements of company. The company has taken useful life of computers consisting
ud
of desktops for 3 years. However, depreciation charged on computers in financial statements of the
company is higher than depreciation allowable under Income tax law. It results in lower accounting
(A
income as per books of accounts of company as compared with taxable income under Income tax
law.
During the course of audit, he notices that cost of CDs along with software cost is treated as an
intangible asset by company. It is also part of his responsibility to verify PPE register in accordance
with audit programme. On perusing details in PPE register, he finds that some computers have
moved from one Centre to another Centre to meet business requirements. Further, many computers
were disposed or scrapped in earlier years. However, proper details in relation to movement and
disposal/scrapping have not been entered in PPE register. When these items were physically verified
by the management during the year, it has resulted in material discrepancies. The management has
properly dealt with such discrepancies in books of accounts.

assets is not proper. It should have treated such costs as revenue expenditure.
(b) The company’s accounting treatment of treating cost of CDs with software costs as intangible
assets is proper.
(c) The company’s accounting treatment of treating cost of CDs with software costs as intangible
assets is not proper. It should have treated cost of CDs as PPE item and software cost as
intangible asset.

assets is not proper. It should have treated cost of CDs as PPE item and software cost as revenue
expenditure.

auditee branches like verification of PPE items, inventories, trade receivables, cash, bank balances and
trade payables at auditee branches and maintained documentation of the same.

procedures pertaining to inventories. He has arrived at and compared inventory turnover ratio (Cost of
