Question 2: financial management and accounting
(I) the accounting of income and cost of subsidiaries is not prudent
The original text of the decision is as follows:
Shenzhen QianBaiHui Lighting Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as QianBaiHui) is a subsidiary acquired by your company in 2016, and the revenue and cost are recognized according to the percentage of completion method. The inspection found that QianBaiHui did not fully consider the reduction of the settlement amount of completed settlement projects and the significant reduction of future income caused by changes in industrial policies when confirming the income in 2019, did not adjust the best estimate of income in time, and lacked sufficient prudence in income recognition.
In addition, QianBaiHui did not dynamically adjust and update the estimated total cost at the end of each year, resulting in the cost amount recognized in the book of some projects exceeding the actual cost of the project.
Description:
Shenzhen QianBaiHui Intelligent Engineering Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company (formerly renamed “Shenzhen QianBaiHui Lighting Engineering Co., Ltd.”, hereinafter referred to as “QianBaiHui”), is mainly engaged in intelligent landscape lighting business. According to the self inspection, the projects undertaken by QianBaiHui are mainly municipal EPC projects. The EPC project has the characteristics that the total contract price is provisional and the settlement amount must be determined after review by the Finance Bureau or an independent third party. In December 2019, the Central Education Leading Group on the theme of “never forgetting the original heart and keeping the mission in mind” issued the notice on rectifying the excessive “performance project” and “face project” of the “landscape lighting project”, and the industrial policy has changed greatly. In that year, some EPC projects completed the settlement procedures, and the reduction range of settlement amount increased. QianBaiHui did not fully consider the above changes, which may lead to significant reduction of future income, did not make timely adjustment to the best estimate of income, and there was a lack of sufficient prudence in income recognition. In addition, the cost of QianBaiHui project is mainly calculated based on the estimated total cost prepared at the initial stage of the project and the project progress confirmed by the supervisor. The estimated total cost is not dynamically adjusted and updated at the end of each year, resulting in the fact that the cost amount confirmed in the book of some projects exceeds the actual cost of the project.
Rectification measures:
In view of the imprudent accounting of QianBaiHui in revenue recognition and project cost, the company has taken the following rectification measures:
1. According to the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – income, the company prepared the accounting specifications for QianBaiHui project under the new income standards in 2021, which was issued and implemented after being deliberated and adopted at the sixth meeting of the second board of directors of QianBaiHui on September 2, 2021. The accounting specification requires that the adjustment and reduction ratio of the settlement amount of the completed engineering projects in the current year and the impact of the latest industrial policy changes on the best estimate of income should be fully considered every year, and the income of engineering projects should be recognized prudently. In addition, during the construction of the project, the estimated total contract cost is dynamically adjusted and updated at the end of each quarter according to the change of project construction scope and the actual change of project cost, so as to ensure that the cost amount confirmed by the project is consistent with the actual cost amount.
2. The company organized QianBaiHui’s financial personnel to carefully study the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 – income in combination with the actual business, focusing on the recognition and measurement of income, contract cost, accounting treatment of specific transactions, etc; According to the requirements of the standards, the management approval process is added in the OA system to improve the standardization of project management, so as to ensure that the future revenue recognition and cost carry forward accounting meet the unified requirements of the parent company’s accounting policies. 3. The company set up a special project team to fully implement the online ERP system in QianBaiHui, and organized a number of relevant trainings to promote its gradual realization of “industry finance integration” through informatization. After comprehensive sorting, optimization and implementation, QianBaiHui has gradually realized the industry finance connection of “project contract management”, “inventory management” and “estimated total cost management”, ensuring that the financial accounting reflects the actual situation of the business in real time.

(II) the goodwill impairment test in 2019 was not prudent
The original text of the decision is as follows:
When your company acquired QianBaiHui in 2016, it formed a goodwill of 181360200 yuan. The inspection found that in the goodwill impairment test in 2019, your company did not take into account the significant reduction in the income of settled projects completed in 2019, nor did it fully consider the impact of the epidemic and policy changes on QianBaiHui lighting engineering business. In addition, QianBaiHui’s revenue and profit fell sharply year-on-year in the first quarter of 2020, with obvious signs of impairment. Your company has not fully considered the above situations, and the goodwill impairment test in 2019 is not prudent.
At the end of 2019, the company conducted an impairment test on QianBaiHui’s goodwill, and predicted its revenue growth and gross profit margin in the next five years in combination with the composition of customers, the number of orders, operating conditions, industry trends, etc. Due to the change of landscape lighting engineering industry policy and the insufficient estimation of the continuous impact on covid-19 epidemic force majeure, the company’s assumptions on some key conditions in the process of income prediction are not cautious, which will have a certain impact on the judgment of QianBaiHui’s income growth and gross profit margin in the next few years.
Rectification measures:
In view of the imprudent goodwill impairment test of QianBaiHui in 2019, at the end of 2020, the company hired a professional evaluation institution to conduct impairment test on the relevant asset groups of QianBaiHui including goodwill. According to the actual operation situation and industry development trend of QianBaiHui, combined with the evaluation opinions of the professional institution and the opinions of the signing auditor, according to the income method, The recoverable amount of the asset group is determined by the present value of the future expected cash flow. In 2020, the company accrued 160.3587 million yuan of goodwill impairment loss. The above results are reflected in the announcement of the board of directors on the provision for asset impairment in 2020 (announcement Code: 2021-044) issued by the company on April 27, 2021.
Before preparing the 2021 annual report, the Finance Department of the company will organize relevant personnel to systematically study the relevant provisions on goodwill impairment in the accounting standards, focusing on the goodwill impairment test model, assumptions and selection principles of key factors. In the future goodwill impairment test, the accounting standards will be strictly implemented and relevant factors will be fully and prudently considered.
