Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition – Refer to Note 2 in the financial statements
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
As discussed in Note 2, the Company recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies its performance obligations.
Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining revenue recognition for its software and services, and includes the following:
| · | Determination of whether software and services (including installation, maintenance support, and cloud services) are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately. |
| · | Identification and treatment of contract terms that may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized. |
| · | Determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and for software and services that are not sold separately. |
Auditing management’s revenue recognition was highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required for the recognition of revenue.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for these customer agreements included the following, among other things:
| · | We evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition and reviewed the underlying customer invoices for reasonableness of the application of ASC 606. |
| · | We obtained an understanding of the process by which accounting estimates are utilized by management in determining when performance obligations are satisfied for the Company’s various revenue streams and how this affects the related recognition of revenue over time. |
| · | We obtained and read contract source documents for selected revenue invoices and tested management’s treatment of those terms. |
| · | We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations of revenue and the associated timing of revenue and deferred revenue recognized in the financial statements. |
