However, more than a month later, the Ningbo Sunlight Electrical Appliance Co.Ltd(002473) annual audit report was still rejected. What does "negative opinion" mean?
"A negative opinion means that the certified public accountant, through the implementation of audit procedures and after obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, believes that the misstatement of the accounting statements prepared by the auditee, alone or combined, has a significant and extensive impact on the financial statements and cannot fairly reflect the financial position, operating results and cash flow of the auditee in all major aspects." Liu Zhigeng, a well-known financial and tax audit expert and senior certified public accountant, told the reporter of securities times · e company.
Ningbo Sunlight Electrical Appliance Co.Ltd(002473) why was the negative opinion issued? According to the contents of the 2021 audit report, the basis for forming the audit opinion mainly involves three aspects: going concern, foreign cooperation, revenue recognition and cost carry forward.
Specifically:
1. Going concern:
Ningbo Sunlight Electrical Appliance Co.Ltd(002473) 2021 net profit was 369845 million yuan. By the end of last year, the company had accumulated a loss of 371 million yuan, and the net assets at the end of the period were 234215 million yuan; The subsidiary Ningbo shenglaida Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. has not obtained relevant industrial production qualification for the manufacturing of complete sets of equipment in the power distribution industry; The investor claims involved indicate that there are major uncertainties that may lead to major doubts about Ningbo Sunlight Electrical Appliance Co.Ltd(002473) going concern ability.
2. Foreign cooperation:
In January 2020, Ningbo Sunlight Electrical Appliance Co.Ltd(002473) subsidiary Ningbo shenghuimei trading company (shenghuimei) signed a cooperation trade agreement with Inner Mongolia state and symbiosis agriculture and animal husbandry development company (symbiosis company) to cooperate in beef cattle breeding industry chain trade business. Shenghuimei paid 20 million yuan in advance for cooperation, and the book balance of other receivables at the end of the period was 19.7 million yuan. For the above-mentioned other receivables, the audit institution has implemented audit procedures such as inspection of contracts and payment vouchers, letters, inspection of industrial and commercial registration information, inspection status and bank flow of symbiosis company, but it is unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on whether the above-mentioned other receivables are implemented in accordance with the agreement, nor can it determine whether the above-mentioned other receivables can be recovered.
3. Revenue recognition and cost carry forward:
Ningbo Sunlight Electrical Appliance Co.Ltd(002473) 2021 annual financial statement revenue of 112 million yuan and cost of 100 million yuan. The income mainly comes from the sales of complete sets of equipment in the power distribution industry. There are 88 projects in total. As of the date of the audit report, the audit institution has visited 28 project sites, but can not further obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to prove the authenticity and integrity of income and cost.
With regard to the above opinions given by the firm, Liu Zhigeng believes that from the basis of the negative opinions given by the certified public accountant, whether it is the problems of small income and large profits exposed by the auditee, the accounts receivable accounting for 46.58% of the total assets at the end of 2021, the 100 million revenue generated in eight months, or the fact that the audit institution visited 28 project sites, In these cases, not only can we not obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, but also can not prove the authenticity and integrity of the company's income and cost in 2021. Based on these issues, it should be reasonable, reasonable and compliant for certified public accountants to express negative opinions.
\u3000\u3000 "Judging from the operation situation, trend and results of the auditee in recent years, the business has shrunk year by year, the income has decreased year by year, and the loss has increased year by year. The operation of the auditee can be said to be 'getting worse and worse', and it has been in a state of maintaining and maintaining the listed company. During this period, it is not strange and normal that there are some large or small financial problems. Therefore, the certified public accountants have expressed qualified opinions in the first two years, but sometimes Today, it is already "terminally ill", so this time we have to "accept our life", which is the inevitable result. " Liu Zhigeng further said.
