With reference to information given, discuss from what sources CA Kashavi can obtain reliable audit evidence in respect of the export revenues particularly for the four export invoices of current year. How can she challenge management's assertion regarding the completeness of export revenues for the F.Y. 2024-25?
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
She can obtain reliable audit evidence by going through GST returns filed by the company on GST portal and correlating the same with e-way bills. She can obtain audit evidence about how company has reflected its export sales in its GST returns and whether export sales pertaining to four invoices having total value of 125lakhs are reflected in such returns. Further, e-way bills generated on the portal would provide evidence that goods have moved out of the company's premises. The export revenue should have been booked at the time the goods moved out of the company's premises. The company is claiming an IGST refund. The refund is linked to the monthly sales return. This aspect can also be verified. “Bill of Lading” is only a document issued by the carrier to the shipper of goods that goods have been taken on board. She should challenge and counter management's assertion on the above grounds and point out violations of relevant accounting standards and principles. In this way, she can obtain reliable audit evidence. Highlighting such digital and other evidence, she can challenge management's assertion regarding the completeness of export revenues and point out that export revenues are understated.
