Out of which the financial statement of one Chapter namely Jabalpur is unaudited. Financial statements of nine Chapters are not available for consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of the Institute. 2.

No physical verification of fixed assets has been conducted during the year. However, the Management is in the process of preparation of fixed assets register and physical verification of fixed assets. Financial impact of the above qualifications cannot be ascertained. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Institute in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements and we have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion. Emphasis of Matter We draw attention to the following notes: a) In respect to Head Quarter: 1. Note No. 2(j) of Notes to Accounts which describes that, an amount of Rs. 4,99,78,350/- is lying in the books of Head Quarter representing CWIP in respect of which no further work has been carried out/undertaken during the last 6 years. Details as below: +-----------------+-------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Particulars | Amount (Rs.) | Remarks | +=================+===================+====================================================================================================+ | Navi Mumbai | 4,99,78,350/- | Last amount paid Rs.5,66,334/- on 13.07.2016 | | Centre of | | & Rs. 22,400/- on 17.08.2016 to the Contractor. | | Excellence | | However, litigation is pending before Bombay | | | | High Court vide Commercial Arbitration | | | | Petition No 613 of 2021. | +-----------------+-------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | TOTAL | 4,99,78,350/- | | +-----------------+-------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ b) In respect to EIRC: i) Note 3(c) of Notes to Accounts regarding TDS receivable balance of Rs. 4,14,918/- appearing as on 31.03.2024 which needs to reconciled with reference to physical TDS certificates as well as actual deposits to the Department in the name of Institute from Income Tax Portal. ii) Note 3(d) of Notes to Accounts regarding an amount of Rs. 10,00,000/- paid as advance to Bhubaneswar Chapter on 22.11.2023 for 43rd RCC preliminary expenditure which is lying unadjusted as on 31.03.2024. c) In respect to WIRC: Note No. 4(a) of Notes to Accounts, which describes that, Claims receivable of Rs. 67,30,000/- appearing in the books of WIRC. d) In respect to NIRC: i) Note No. 5(a)(iii) of Notes to Accounts regarding pending demands of TDS at Traces for Rs. 1,45,710/- are pending for a long time but no provision has been made in the books as the Council is of view that demand will be quashed after rectification. ii) Note No. 5(a)(iv) of Notes to Accounts regarding Security Deposits given amounting to Rs. 1,67,690/- and advance to employees amounting to Rs. 15,488/- which is considered to be doubtful, but no provision has been made against the same as the Council is of the view that they will recover the same. e) The year-end balance confirmation of trade receivables, trade payables, loans and advances etc. have not been received from the parties. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Institute's Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Cost Accountants Act, 1959 and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the Institute's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Institute or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Management is responsible for overseeing the Institute's financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Institute's internal control. 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. 4. Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Institute's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Institute to cease to continue as a going concern. 5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in: i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Other Matters 1. (a) We did not audit the financial statements of four Regional Councils and one hundred and six Chapters whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 2,43,67,04,251/- and total revenue of Rs. 50,52,08,961/- as considered in the financial statements. The financial statements of these Regional Councils have been audited by Other Auditors, appointed by the respective Regional Councils and the financial statements of majority of these Chapters have been audited by Cost Accountants appointed by Governing Bodies of the Chapter in terms of Regulation 133 of the Cost Accountants Act, 1959, and Clause 26 of the Chapter Bye-laws of the Institute, whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these aforesaid Councils and Chapters is based solely on the reports of the Other Auditors and Cost Accountants respectively. (b) The financial statements of one Chapter namely Jabalpur is unaudited and have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this aforesaid Regional Council and Chapter based solely on such unaudited financial statements certified by the Management. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, the financial statements as certified by the Management is not material in the context of overall financial statements of the Institute. (c) The financial statements for the year of the Institute do not include the financial statements of nine Chapters, as no financial statements have been received from their end. (d) The financial statements of the Institute for FY 2023-24 include ninety-seven Chapters audited by Cost Accountants and nine Chapters audited by Chartered Accountants. Our opinion on the financial statements and our report on Other Regulatory Requirements below, is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the Other Auditors and Cost Accountants, as the case may be and the financial statements certified by the Management. 2. The Fixed Asset Register for the Immovable Asset of the Institute is being updated. 3. The amount of Rs. 36,35,000/- released during FY 2020-21 is still lying as “Advance for Pune Building" under the head “Loans & Advances" and not being treated as “Capital Grant" 4. Labour Cess payable amounting to Rs. 1,41,157/- is lying in the books of accounts. As informed by the Management the same has not been paid due to delay on part of Government procedures. 5. An amount of Rs. 15,56,53,261/- has been reversed for excess provision made on account of current liabilities towards Regional Councils and Chapters which is included in prior period adjustment (net) as reported in Income & Expenditure Account. 6. During the FY 2023-24 an amount of Rs. 1,68,45,233/- GST input lying unutilized have been charged to Income & Expenditure Account. 7. With respect to Bangalore chapter i) On review of Internal Audit Report (First Half 2023-24) para 3 & 4, and based on e-mail received form the Head Quarters on 6th April, 2023 stating that “the recruitment/engagement of personnel at Bangalore Chapter of the Institute which took place without the consent or approval of the concerned authority(s) of the Head Quarters of the Institute stands cancelled with immediate effect. The salaries and other benefits drawn by them during their service tenure shall be recovered from the paying authority(s).” In this connection, the Chapter's Management has taken action to terminate the concerned contractual employees. Further, the Chapter's Management had written letter to the Head Quarters seeking clarification about 'paying authority(s)' in order to recover the amount from them and also requested the Head Quarters to clarify the accounting treatment of the above receivables in the books of Bangalore Chapter, for which the reply is awaited. The salaries and other benefits paid to those contractual employees during their service tenure from FY 2017-18 to 2023-24 need to be quantified by the Internal Auditors. Report on Other Regulatory Requirements We further report that: a) Except for the effects of the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph above, we have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit; b) Except for the effects of the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion paragraph above, in our opinion proper books of account as required by the Cost Accountants Act, 1959, have been kept by the Institute so far as appears from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our audit have been received from the Regions and Chapters read with paragraph 1 of 'Other Matters'; c) The reports on the financial statements of the Regional Councils and Chapters of the Institute audited by the Other Auditors and Cost Accountants of the respective Regions and Chapters as have been received by us, were properly dealt with in preparing this report. d) The Institute's Balance Sheet, Statement of Income and Expenditure and Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account.
