Internal Audit Report for the Period 01.04.2010 - 30.06.2010
1 VOUCHING
1.1 Observation: Payments in excess of Rs. 20,000/- in cash
It was observed that no expenditures were incurred in respect of which payment in excess of Rs. 20,000 was made otherwise than an account payee cheque or account payee draft.
1.2 Observation: Unaccounted Entries in the Bank:
We have checked the reconciliation of the Bank accounts for the quarter ended on 30th June 2010. It was observed that there were no unrecorded entries.
2 SALES AND OTHER INCOME
2.1 Scope:We have checked the sales order, sales invoice, supporting with transport bills & cross checked the entries in sales ledger on a cent percent basis.
2.2 Observations:a) Sales reported to different authorities:
We reconciled the sales as reported in the Sales Tax Return, books of account and quarterly profit & loss account published. We noticed difference in the sales reported to different authorities, which are detailed below:
2
(Rs. In lacks)
Month Sales as per books of account
Sales as per vat return
Sales as per quarterly financial statement
Up to 30th
June 2010 3134.76 3133.78 3135.08
Risk:
The Sales reported to the various Government account. In the present case, the sales reported to Sales Tax and published profit & loss account are different than the sales as per books. Hence the Correct Sales figure cannot be ascertained. Also if the Company has reported incorrect sales to government authorities, it is liable to penalties and prosecution.
Suggestion:
The sales reported at the different places should be reconciled immediately and revised returns should be submitted wherever necessary.
b) In checking of sales invoice we observe that in most of the cases transporter’s bills ware not attached with the invoice. Some invoices with which transport bill was not attached
are as: Date Invoice no.
12/05/2010 371 to 37917/05/2010 402 to 40718/05/2010 401 to 41220/05/2010 423 to 42420/06/2010 516 to 51923/06/2010 523 to 53624/06/2010 539 to 544
3
Suggestion:
Transportation bills should be attached with the invoice.
c) We observe that in some of the cases sale value (amount) under invoice is different as in transport bill. Following are the cases in which sales value is different.
Date Invoice no. Sales value as per sales invoice
Sales value as per transport bills
30/06/2010 597 & 598 101610/- 665867/-
d) During our audit we observe that company’s policy in respect of consignment sale is goods are invoices to the consignee at invoice price and booked sale as per account sale prepared by consignee. But up to finalization of our report concern department has not received any account sale from the consignees and booked consignment sale as normal sales (i.e. stock with consignee were not taken in account).
Risk: Profit given by profit and loss account is overstated.
4
Suggestion: The necessary account sale should receive on timely basis and necessary correction made in books of account at earliest.
Observation: Sales Return accounted for but supporting vouchers are not available:
In course of checking of sales return voucher it is observe that sales return has been accounted for without supporting vouchers (i.e. debit note issued by customer) relating to that sales return.
Suggestion:
The necessary debit notes need to be attached with respective invoices at the earliest.
Date Voucher no. Amount

3 PURCHASE VOUCHING
a) Raw materials:
Scope: We have checked the Purchase bills on a cent percent basis and found that all the entries for purchases were supported by bills of the parties from whom the material were purchased.
We have also checked the bills with the purchase orders for purchases above Rs. 50000. Our observations are given below.
Observations: a) Difference in quantity ordered and quantity received:
In a few of cases it was observed that there were differences in quantity ordered and quantity received. No written instruction is produced to us to this effect.
Risk:
The Company prepares the Purchase Order based on its production requirements as identified by the Design and Development Dept. and the Stores Department. When the Company accepts higher quantity of material than specified in P.O. it is unnecessarily blocking funds and storage space .It also becomes difficult to check the bill with the purchase order.
6
Suggestion:
A revised purchase order should be issued in such cases.
b) Difference in quantity as per purchase bill and quantity transported to company as per transport bills:In the course of checking of purchase of raw material it was observe that in the few of the cases quantity of raw material purchase as per purchase invoice is different than the quantity of material transported to the company under same invoice. And also material receipt note issued as quantity received was for quantity as in purchase invoice these both are contradictory. Following are the cases in which quantity difference are reported: S.
