Are The Numbers Real? Multi-Year Forensic Quality Audit

While P&L revenue grew from ₹447.48 cr to ₹761.60 cr and PAT reached ₹71.32 cr, cash flow tells a different story. Cumulative 3-year CFO/PAT is -0.74x due to Ind AS 115 percentage-of-completion accounting, where unbilled contract assets expanded to ₹513.23 crore. Furthermore, trade payables to contractors have been stretched to 210 days (₹337.06 cr) to bridge the funding gap.

How To Read This Risk Matrix
These tallies reflect the 117 checkpoints evaluated across the 9 analytical layers. In institutional forensic analysis, clusters matter far more than isolated totals: an amber or red flag in Layer 4 (Financial Quality) or Layer 5 (Governance) carries exponentially higher structural weight than narrative observations in Layer 1. Always evaluate flags against company peers and industry context.
