Case Scenario – I :

Skill Edge Learning Pvt. Ltd. is a fast growing company providing online learning and digital testing solutions to schools and colleges. The company conducts computer-based exams and offers interactive e-learning content.

For the financial year 2024-25, Skill Edge decided to appoint M/s T & Associates as its new statutory auditor, replacing the previous auditor, CA S. As per the professional requirement M/s T & Associates sent a formal communication to CA S before accepting the engagement. However, CA S did not respond to the communication.

During the audit planning phase, the engagement partner CA T fixed the tolerable misstatement limit at ₹ 1,00,000 for verifying the company’s revenue from online courses. Later, after reassessing the overall materiality, the partner increased the limit to ₹ 2,00,000. A newly joined audit assistant was unsure how this change will affect the sample size for testing revenue transactions.

While examining “Intangible Assets” in Skill Edge’s books, the auditor reviewed the following expenditures:

(i) ₹ 6 lakhs spent on in-house research to create a unique student performance database intended to enhance marketing effectiveness.

(ii) ₹ 5 lakhs paid for software integrated with a computerized learning device – the device cannot function without this software.

(iii) ₹ 3 lakh spent on standalone accounting software used by the finance department.

The auditor had to evaluate whether the accounting treatment of these items complied with AS-26 – Intangible Assets.

Meanwhile, the promoters of Skill Edge set up a new venture, Smart Trade LLP, to trade in refurbished computers and digital devices sourced from Skill Edge’s old test centres. Before registration, they consulted CA S to understand the difference between a traditional partnership, an LLP, and a private Ltd company. He explained that an LLP provides limited liability to its partners, functions as a separate legal entity, and must be registered under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 with the appropriate authority.

In August 2025, Mr. Piyush, the partner in-charge of finance at Smart Trade LLP contacted CA S to conduct the audit for FY 2024-25 and complete the statutory filings-unaware about the prescribed due dates for filings.

Based on the above facts, answer the following questions : (4 to 8)

4.Which of the following correctly describes the statutory framework applicable to Smart Trade LLP ?

(A) An LLP must have at least two partners, of which one must be designated and it is registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

(B) An LLP must have at least two designated partners who must obtain a Director Identification Number (DIN), and it is registered with the Registrar of firms.

(C) An LLP must have at least two designated partners who must obtain a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN), and it is registered with the Registrar of Companies.

(D) An LLP must have a minimum of three partners, and only one is required to hold a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN) and it is registered with the Registrar of Companies.

Solution: (C) An LLP must have at least two designated partners who must obtain a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN), and it is registered with the Registrar of Companies.

Choice 'C' is correct as--

Smart Trade LLP is governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.
An LLP must have at least two designated partners, who must obtain a DPIN.
Further, LLP is registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under MCA.
Hence, the correct statutory framework is given in option (C).

5.If Piyush approaches CA S in August 2025 for the audit and filings of FY 2024-25, which outcome is correct?

(A) Annual Return filing will be delayed as every LLP would be required to file annual return in FORM 11 with ROC within 30 days of closure of financial year.

(B) Annual Return filing will be delayed as every LLP would be required to file annual return in FORM 11 with ROC within 60 days of closure of financial year.

(C) Annual Return filing will not be delayed as every LLP would be required to file annual return in FORM 11 with ROC within 6 months of closure of financial year.

(D) No delay since filings can be done anytime.

Solution: (B) Annual Return filing will be delayed as every LLP would be required to file annual return in FORM 11 with ROC within 60 days of closure of financial year.

Choice 'B' is correct as--

Every LLP is required to file its Annual Return in Form 11 with the ROC.
The due date for filing Form 11 is within 60 days from the closure of the financial year (i.e., by 30th May).
Since Piyush approaches CA S only in August 2025, the filing will be delayed.
Hence, option (B) is correct.

6.CA S has failed to respond to incoming auditors. In this regard, choose the most appropriate option.

(A) It was unethical on the part of outgoing auditors for failing to respond to communication made by incoming auditors. It is violation of the principle of professional behaviour governing professional ethics.

(B) It was unethical on the part of outgoing auditors for failing to respond to communication made by incoming auditors. It is violation of the principle of objectivity governing professional ethics.

(C) The outgoing auditor is not required to respond unless the client asks.

(D) It was unethical on the part of outgoing auditors for failing to respond to communication made by incoming auditors. It is violation of the principle of professional competence and due care governing professional ethics.

Solution: (A) It was unethical on the part of outgoing auditors for failing to respond to communication made by incoming auditors. It is violation of the principle of professional behaviour governing professional ethics.

Choice 'A' is correct as--

In this case, CA S (outgoing auditor) did not respond to the communication sent by the incoming auditors.
As per professional ethics, the outgoing auditor must reply to such communication.
Failure to respond is unethical and violates the principle of professional behaviour.
Hence, option (A) is correct.

7.In the given case scenario, if the tolerable misstatement is increased to ₹ 2,00,000 how will it affect the audit sample size?

(A) Sample size will decrease.
(B) Sample size will increase.
(C) Sample size will remain unchanged.
(D) No relationship exists between the two.

Solution: (A) Sample size will decrease.

Choice 'A' is correct as--

Tolerable misstatement and sample size have an inverse relationship.
When tolerable misstatement increases from ₹ 1,00,000 to ₹ 2,00,000, the auditor can accept more error.
Therefore, fewer items need to be tested.
Hence, the audit sample size will decrease.

8.Which of the following conclusions about Skill Edge’s intangible asset expenditure is most appropriate under AS 26 ?

(A) Only items (i) and (iii) qualify as intangible assets.

(B) All three items should be recognized as intangible assets.

(C) Item (i) should be expensed, item (ii) treated as part of fixed assets; item (iii) recognized as an intangible asset.

(D) Item (i) should be expensed; items (ii) and (iii) recognized as intangible assets.

Solution: (C) Item (i) should be expensed, item (ii) treated as part of fixed assets; item (iii) recognized as an intangible asset.

Choice 'C' is correct as--

Item (i) is in-house research expenditure, which must be expensed under AS 26.
Item (ii) is software integral to a device, so it should be treated as part of the related fixed asset.
Item (iii) is standalone accounting software, which qualifies as an intangible asset.
Hence, option (C) is the most appropriate conclusion.

Case Scenario – II :

Fresh Farm Foods Ltd., a reputed food processing company, engaged Ravi & Mehta Chartered Accountants, to provide limited assurance on its Social Responsibility Report for the year ended 31st March 2025.

The report prepared covered the company’s initiatives on waste reduction, water conservation and community welfare. As part of the engagement, the assurance team visited multiple factory locations, reviewed internal sustainability data and interviewed employees and local community representatives. The engagement was carried out in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements (SAEs) to evaluate whether the report was free from material misstatement.

While reviewing team behaviour during the engagement, the partner noted concerns regarding ethical and independence compliance, one team member had accepted significant gift and hospitality from the client and another had taken loan from the client. The partner decided to assess these matters in light of the ethical requirements.

Simultaneously, Ravi and Mehta were conducting the statutory audit of Fresh Farm Foods Ltd. for the same year. The company has finalized its financial statements for the year ended 31-03-2025, and in the board meeting held on 15th April 2025, the directors declared a dividend for the financial year 2024-25. During the audit, it was noted that the accountant had recognized the dividend as a liability as at 31st March 2025, on the reasoning that the dividend belongs to the year 2024-25.

The auditor must now determine whether recording such a dividend as a liability in the financial statement for the year ended 31st March 2025 is appropriate.

Based on the case study, answer the following questions : (9 to 12)

9.Acceptance of significant gift and hospitality from the client and loan taken from the client creates which type of ethical threats?

(A) Familiarity threats and Self Interest threats respectively.
(B) Advocacy and self-review threats respectively.
(C) Intimidation and Advocacy threats respectively.
(D) Self Interest and Familiarity threats respectively.

Solution: (A) Familiarity threats and Self Interest threats respectively.

Choice 'A' is correct as--

Acceptance of significant gifts and hospitality from the client creates a familiarity threat, as it may lead to a close relationship affecting objectivity.
Taking a loan from the client creates a self-interest threat, since financial dependence may influence the auditor’s judgment.
Hence, option (A) is correct.

10.Which of the following best represents the three party relationship in this assurance engagement?

(A) Ravi & Mehta, management of Fresh Farm Foods Ltd., and the intended users of the report.
(B) Ravi & Mehta, internal audit staff and the CSR department.
(C) Ravi & Mehta, the company’s board of directors and its external auditors.
(D) Ravi & Mehta, employees interviewed during site visits and the intended users of the report.

Solution: (A) Ravi & Mehta, management of Fresh Farm Foods Ltd., and the intended users of the report.

Choice 'A' is correct as--

In an assurance engagement, the three parties are the practitioner (Ravi & Mehta), the responsible party (management of Fresh Farm Foods Ltd.), and the intended users of the report.
This forms the standard three-party relationship under SAEs.
Hence, option (A) is correct.

11.Which actions should the Ravi & Mehta engagement partner take as per compliance with professional ethical requirements and independent principles?

(i) Obtain information from the firm to identify and evaluate the threats.
(ii) Evaluate whether the action create threats to independence.
(iii) Apply safeguards or eliminate threats to an acceptable level.
(iv) Report the issue directly to the client’s CSR Committee for their resolution.
(v) Consider withdrawal from the engagement if threats remain unacceptable.

(A) (i), (ii) (iii) and (v)
(B) (i), (ii) and (iii) only
(C) (ii), (iii) and (v) only
(D) (i), (iv) and (v) only

Solution: (A) (i), (ii) (iii) and (v)

Choice 'A' is correct as--

The engagement partner must obtain information to identify threats, evaluate their impact on independence, and apply safeguards to reduce threats to an acceptable level.
If threats remain unacceptable even after safeguards, withdrawal from the engagement should be considered.
Reporting directly to the client’s CSR Committee is not a mandatory ethical requirement.
Hence, actions (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) are correct, so option (A) is correct.

12.Whether the dividend should be recognized as a liability in the financial statements of Fresh Farm Foods Ltd. as at 31st March 2025 ?

(A) No, the amount should be recognized equally between the two financial years.

(B) Yes, it must be recognised in the same year irrespective of the date of declaration.

(C) No, the dividend should not be recognized as a liability, instead the amount of proposed dividend should be appropriately disclosed.

(D) No, it should neither be recognized nor disclosed.

Solution: (C) No, the dividend should not be recognized as a liability, instead the amount of proposed dividend should be appropriately disclosed.

Choice 'C' is correct as--

The dividend was declared by the directors on 15th April 2025, which is after the reporting date of 31st March 2025.
Therefore, it is a non-adjusting event and should not be recognized as a liability at year end.
Instead, the proposed dividend should be disclosed appropriately in the notes.
Hence, option (C) is correct.

Case Scenario – III :

MN & Co., a firm of Chartered Accountants, was engaged to conduct the statutory audit of OP Ltd., a manufacturer of ready-made garments, for the financial year 2024-25. The audit was conducted with different team members assigned to specific areas of responsibilities :

(1) Ms. Nishi was responsible for audit documentation and the assembly of the audit file.

(2) Mr. Paras was handling the auditor’s responsibilities related to the assessment of going concern and he noticed that OP Ltd.’s use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate but a material uncertainty exists.

(3) Mr. Sanjay was focusing on the auditor’s responsibilities concerning deficiencies in internal control.

Each team member was tasked with ensuring compliance with applicable auditing standards in their respective areas to facilitate a thorough and effective audit process.

Based on above facts, answer the following questions : (13 to 15)

13.Which of the following statements are correct regarding audit documentation and the assembly of the final audit file carried out by Ms. Nishi ?

(i) The auditor shall prepare audit documentation after auditor’s report but within 90 days after the date of the auditor’s report.

(ii) Changes of any type can be made to the audit documentation during the final assembly process.

(iii) After the assembly of the final audit file has been completed, the auditor shall not delete or discard audit documentation of any nature before the end of its retention period.

(iv) The retention period for audit documentation ordinarily is no shorter than seven years from the date of the auditor’s report.

(A) ii, iii
(B) i, ii
(C) iii, iv
(D) iv, i

Solution: (C) iii, iv

Choice 'C' is correct as--

After the assembly of the final audit file is completed, the auditor cannot delete or discard audit documentation before the end of its retention period.
Further, the retention period for audit documentation is ordinarily no shorter than seven years from the date of the auditor’s report.
Statement (ii) is incorrect because only limited administrative changes are allowed, not any type of changes.
Hence, statements (iii) and (iv) are correct, so option (C) is correct.

14.During the audit of OP Ltd. Mr. Paras concludes that the financial statements do not provide adequate disclosure of a material uncertainty related to going concern. What action should Mr. Paras take in this situation ?

(A) The auditor shall express a qualified opinion or adverse opinion, as appropriate, in accordance with SA 705.

(B) The auditor shall express an unmodified opinion.

(C) The auditor shall express a qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion in the auditor’s report that may be appropriate, in accordance with SA 705.

(D) Auditor shall disclose the matter in EOM paragraph of the auditor’s report.

Solution: (A) The auditor shall express a qualified opinion or adverse opinion, as appropriate, in accordance with SA 705.

Choice 'A' is correct as--

If adequate disclosure of a material uncertainty related to going concern is not provided in the financial statements, the auditor cannot give an unmodified opinion.
In such cases, the auditor shall express a qualified opinion or adverse opinion, as appropriate, in accordance with SA 705.
An EOM paragraph is used only when disclosures are adequate.
Hence, option (A) is correct.

15.Mr. Sanjay considers the following as examples of indicators of significant deficiencies in internal control. Which of the following items would actually indicate a significant deficiency ?

I. Misstatements detected by the auditor’s procedures that were not prevented, or detected and corrected, by the entity’s internal control.

II. Disclosure of a material misstatement due to error or fraud as prior period items in the current year’s Statement of Profit and Loss.

III. Evidence of management’s inability to oversee the preparation of the financial statements.

IV. Presence of a risk assessment process within the entity where such a process would ordinarily be expected to have been established.

V. Evidence of an effective response to identified significant risks.

(A) I, II, III, IV
(B) I, II, III, IV, V
(C) I, II, III
(D) I, II

Solution: (A) I, II, III, IV

Choice 'A' is correct as--

Misstatements not prevented or corrected by internal control indicate a significant deficiency.
Material misstatements due to error or fraud appearing as prior period items also indicate weakness in controls.
Management’s inability to oversee financial statement preparation is a major control deficiency.
Absence of a proper risk assessment process where expected is also a significant deficiency.
Evidence of an effective response to risks (V) is not a deficiency.
Hence, items I, II, III and IV are correct, so option (A) is correct.

"Koncept perfectly justifies what it sounds, i.e, your concepts are meant to be cleared if you are a Konceptian. My experience with Koncept was amazing. The most striking experience that I went through was the the way Yash sir and Ruchika ma'am taught us in the lectures, making it very interesting and lucid. Another great feature of Koncept is that you get mentor calls which I think drives you to stay motivated and be disciplined. And of course it goes without saying that Yash sir has always been like a friend to me, giving me genuine guidance whenever I was in need. So once again I want to thank Koncept Education for all their efforts."
