report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of

standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period. These matters were

statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition - Web Services
|
See Note 2.3(c) and 19 to standalone financial statements
|
|
|
The key audit matter
|
How the matter was addressed in our audit
|
|
The Company generates revenue primarily from web services and
follows a prepaid model for its business.
Revenue from web services is recognised over the period of
the contract as and when the Company satisfies performance
obligations by actually rendering the promised services to its
customers.
These services are delivered using IT systems which manage very
high volume on daily basis and generate reports from which the
Company recognises revenue, and hence there is inherent risk
around the existence and accuracy of revenue recognition.
|
In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following
audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence:
i. We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition
accounting policy and its compliance with applicable
accounting standards.
ii. We evaluated the design and implementation of key internal
financial controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant
key controls with respect to existence and accuracy of revenue
recognition on selected transactions.
iii. We, with the involvement of IT specialists, evaluated the design,
implementation and operating effectiveness of management's
general IT controls and key application controls over the
Company's IT systems which govern revenue recognition,
including access controls, controls over program changes and
interfaces between different systems.
iv. We selected a sample of transactions using statistical sampling
and performed tests of details including reading the contract,
identifying performance obligation and its link with actual rendition
to assess whether the criteria for revenue recognition are met.
