AUDITORS REPORT

We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship, Guwahati as on 31st March 2007 and also the annexed Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended on that date. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Institute’s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standard generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from misstatement. An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We report the following observations :

 

  1. The interest on Corpus Fund Fixed Deposits amounting Rs.690756/- For the year 2006-07 with United Bank of India, Lalmati, Guwahati has been directly credited to the Corpus Fund. This has resulted in reducing income for the year by the corresponding amount. 
  2. The NSIC had contributed Rs.5 lakhs to the corpus Fund of the institute vide FDR no. 853546 dated 10.03.2000(maturity date 10.03.2003). The FDR was in the name of NSIC . After maturity the NSIC did not furnish the details/ copy of the deposit receipt even after repeated reminders by the institute. Further no interest was paid by NSIC wef.10.06.2005 resulted in reduced income for the year by the amount of interest earned and lower amount of deposit by the amount of interest earned up to 31.03.2007.
  3. The Training fees receivable Rs.12849855/- includes Rs.9760635/- outstanding for more than six months. Out of the amount outstanding for more than six month it appears that the maximum outstanding amount are not recoverable. Details of such outstanding are as under.

No provision for any doubtful recovery has been made. Therefore the current assets (Training fee recoverable) has been shown enhanced by the amount not recoverable.

In view of the above facts it is suggested that in future the institute should insist for advance payment of training fees before undertaking any training program.

 

     4.   The job of preparing Fixed Assets register was given to an outside party but on verification it was found that the register was not maintained for the Financial Year 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. Further no documents/ records relating to physical verification of fixed assets during the Financial Year 2006-2007 were produced for our verification. Therefore difference between the assets as per records and as per physical verification could not be ascertained.

5.  Provision for liability under the  “The payment of Gratuity ACT, 1972” was not done properly. During the year Rs.2803683/- has been debited towards provision for gratuity liability which includes Rs.1677511/- towards short provision made up to 31.03.2006. This has resulted in higher expenditure by Rs.1677511/- during the year.

      6.      No balance confirmation with debtors, creditors and for loans and advances were made available for our verification and their balances    are shown as appearing in the accounts.

 

7.      The tax deducted at source is not deposited timely. Further quarterly E-TDS returns are also not submitted timely. This may result in imposition of interest for delayed payment and penalty for not filing timely returns. Further no TDS was deducted out of consultancy and professional fee paid.

 

8.      The institute has not made any provision for liability under the provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961 towards income tax and fringe benefit liability. The institute could not produce any document showing that the said provisions were not applicable to the institute.

  1. Rs.495390/- were paid to M/s Synergic Softak Sulution towards annual Maintenance charges for support services of application software. No competitive quotations were obtained due to secret password with the service provider. The expenditure appears to be excessive considering the nature of services rendered.
  2. The Institute has recovered Rs.3385500/- towards internal faculty services by debiting respective projects and crediting the receipts against internal faculty service. In fact the receipt should have been credited to salary and allowances account and other heads of the applicable expenses. This has resulted in higher Income and Expenditure by Rs.3385500/-

 

11. The outstanding payment to CPWD as on 31.03.2007 are as under.

 

      A. CPWD (Civil)

                          a.      Construction of fencing works                       154016.00

                          b.      Construction of second Hostel Building        24576500.00

                          c.      Construction of Boundary wall                        892080.00

                                                                     TOTAL                     25622596.00

B. CPWD (Electr)

                           b. Sound proofing of DG Set                                 194250.00

                                                                             TOTAL              716632.00

                           GRAND TOTAL                26339228.00

 

The above amount has been shown as advance to CPWD since last year.    

On verification it was found that the construction of building and installation of DG set had been competed long back. In fact the institute is charging depreciation on the furniture installed in the said hostel building. By not capitalizing the outstanding amount the value fixed assets has been shown short/less by Rs.26339228/- and the loans and advance has been inflated by the same amount.  As a result of which institute has shown lower depreciation as under:-

           

I.             Depreciation @ 10% on civil work Rs. 25622596.00                   2562260.00

II.            Depreciation on DG set @ 15% on Rs. 716632.00                      107495.00

               Total Depreciation                                                                        2669755.00

 

This resulted in lower depreciation and expenditure by Rs.2669755.00

 

12.  The institute has made provision for leave encashment Rs.2351129/- which  includes Rs.1743480/- short provision in earlier years resulted in higher expenditure during year by the said short provision in earlier years.
