Accordingly, private keys must be safeguarded and secured in order to prevent an unauthorized party from accessing the crypto assets with”); We consulted with subject matter experts regarding our planned audit response to address certain risks (“We applied auditor judgment in determining the nature and extent of audit evidence required, especially related to assessing the existence of the digital assets and whether the Company controls the digital assets.

How each check works
what it measures, the threshold, what it does not mean
| Check | What it measures | When it is marked | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivables growing faster than revenue | Whether customers owe more, relative to sales, than a year ago. | Receivables grew more than 10 percentage points faster than revenue, and grew. | Not proof that revenue is overstated. A large deal at year end, longer payment terms or an acquisition can do the same. |
| Cash from operations lower than net income | Whether reported profit is backed by cash from the business. | Cash from operations is below net income. Not computed for banks and other financial companies. | Common in fast-growing or seasonal companies. It is a question to ask, not a failure. |
| Inventory growing faster than revenue | Whether stock is piling up relative to sales. | Inventory grew more than 10 percentage points faster than revenue, and grew. | May be a planned build ahead of a product launch or a supply-chain change. |
| Auditor change | Whether the company changed its auditor. | An 8-K item 4.01 in the last 2 years, or a different auditor name in the two latest 10-Ks. | Often routine: rotation, a tender, or an audit firm merger. |
| Going concern language | Whether the 10-K states substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. | A sentence to that effect is found in the 10-K text. Quoted as filed. | The wording is the company's, not our estimate. It can also appear in a sentence saying the doubt was removed. |
| Restatement (8-K item 4.02) | Whether the company said earlier financial statements should no longer be relied on. | An 8-K item 4.02 in the last 2 years. | Some restatements are small and do not change the picture. |
| Late filing notice | Whether the company asked for more time to file a 10-K or 10-Q. | An NT 10-K or NT 10-Q in the last 2 years. | Delays can be technical and one-off. |
| Critical audit matters changed | Which topics the auditor singled out as most difficult, and whether they changed. | A matter is new in the latest 10-K compared with the one before. | A new matter shows where the auditor spent its effort, not that something is wrong. |
| Material weakness in internal control | Whether the 10-K concludes that internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of a material weakness. | A sentence in the 10-K text concludes that controls were not effective because of a material weakness, quoted as filed. Sentences that say there is none, that one could occur, or that an earlier one was fixed are not marked. | It is the company's or the auditor's own wording, not our estimate. Many are about one account or process and are fixed within a year. It does not say the numbers are wrong. |
| Material impairment (8-K item 2.06) | Whether the company told the SEC it expects a material charge for impaired assets, such as goodwill. | An 8-K item 2.06 in the last 2 years. | A non-cash write-down. It says an earlier value was too high, not that the business is failing or that cash ran out. |
| Bankruptcy (8-K item 1.03) | Whether the company filed for bankruptcy or receivership. | An 8-K item 1.03 in the last 2 years. | The filing is the company's own and is a fact. It does not say what shareholders will get or whether the business continues. |
The 10-point threshold is our choice, not an academic result. Every check cites the filing and the line items it used.
