However, the sales of the company are increasing over the periods. The huge negative figure is the result of the initial expenditure that is to be incurred by the company for exploration of the resources.

1. Current ratio:

It can be seen that the current ratio of the company has increased significantly over the period of last three years. The amount recorded in 2107 is excessively high and denotes that the company is losing funds in respect of over investment in the working capital of the company.

1. Return on Assets:

The company has improved the return on assets as the negative returns generated by the company have reduced over the years. This means that the company is revenue-generating capability using its fixed assets.

1. Debt Equity ratio:

The decision has to be taken regarding the fact that whether the provisions of the corporation act and the accounting standards were abided by the company.  

1. Receivables:

It is very doubtful on their part to make the full payment to the company in respect of the items that have been purchased by them from the company (Gormly et al. 2016). In addition to this, the validity of the time that has been selected by the company for the recognition of the amount corresponding to them has to be established too.

It is one of the most liquid assets that are held by the company. Due to its liquid nature, it is the most susceptible one in terms of theft and misrepresentation by the staff of the company.

1. Investments:

This item is considered to be a material one because of its unpredictable nature and the subjectivity involved in the selection process of the management.

1. Exploration and evaluation expenditure:

This is considered to be one of the most significant and material item because the company’s primary activity is concerned with the exploration of the minerals.

1. Borrowings:

It is considered to be a material item by the auditor because of the fact that the legal obligations that are being made compulsorily applicable due to the borrowing of funds that is conducted by the company like the payment of interest at a fixed rate irrespective of the fact that whether the company has been able to generate net profits or not.

1. Pre-payments:

These are considered to be material because the auditor of the company will have to verify extensively that whether the amount that has been recorded by the company as pre-payment is being written by the suppliers of the company as pre-received for the same period of time and with the same amount. There is a high risk present in this because of the fact that in case of lapse of proper communication and the relevant supporting documents error can be observed (Campbell et al. 2015).

1. Security deposits:

This is considered to be material by the auditor of the company because of the fact that the amount involved in the security deposits of the company is significant and in case of improper communication and in case of huge change in the interest rates prevalent in the market there can be huge difference in the earning that is going to accrue towards the company.
