A.3: Schedule III requires spilt of trade payables between disputed and
undisputed. These terms have not been defined in Schedule III. A dispute is a
matter of facts & circumstances of the case; however, dispute means a
disagreement between the two parties demonstrated by some positive
evidence which supports or corroborates the fact of disagreement.
(It also refers to the word ‘Dispute’ as defined under the Insolvency &
Bankruptcy Code, 2016 which is:
‘Dispute’ includes a suit or arbitration proceeding relating to the existence of
the amount of debt, the quality of goods or service or the breach of a
representation or warranty.)
Thus, in the above mentioned case, it will be categorized as a Dispute, as the
E-mail is an evidence of the fact of disagreement.

(Amount in lakhs)
In this case, there is an abnormal and unusual deviation in the Inventory Holding
Period when compared to industry trends. The same increased from 65 days to 445 days.
This can raise suspicions about:
- Out of Books Sale
- Overvalued Inventory to show good profit to industry
- Overvalued Inventory to get more working capital Term Loan.

Current Liabilities 1000 4000
Current Ratio 4 0.75
1. In case of F.Y. 2021-22, the current ratio is abnormally low. This implies that
working capital management in the F.Y. 2021-22 is not upto the mark which
indicates weak financial liquidity of the company.
2. In F.Y. 2020-21, working capital situation is considered abnormal and this
may done in order to-
• To attract Investment

2. Manual rounding off is prone to errors. Formula in MS Excel to be used to
prevent occurrence of such errors. We strongly recommend to prepare

A. Rounded off- for Statutory Audit purposes
B. Absolute figures- For filling data in Company Law Forms, GST
