The auditor to the troubled engineering firm McNally Bharat Engineering Co Ltd has heavily qualified the fourth quarter and full-year results prepared by the company, noting that the financial statement “does not give a true or fair view” and casting “significant doubt” about McNally’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Chartered accountants V. Singhi & Associates said the basis for the adverse opinion is that McNally did not recognise interest expense for the quarter and the year.
The company has not recognised interest expense on bank borrowings and inter corporate borrowings amounting to Rs 290.44 crore (including Rs 74.66 crore for the quarter) and Rs 10.59 crore (including Rs 8.92 crore for the quarter), respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2020.
