Description of the Matter | As described in Note 2u to the consolidated financial statements, the Company derives its revenue mainly from transaction fees and service fees. The Company earns transaction fees for enabling orders and providing other services and service fees to cover administrative fees. The Company’s revenue recognition process involves several applications responsible for the initiation, processing and recording of transactions, and the calculation of revenue is in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. The processing and recognition of revenue are highly automated and involves capturing and processing significant volumes of data. Auditing the Company’s revenues from transaction fees and service fees in the Company's core platform was challenging and complex due to the high volume of individually-low- monetary-value transactions and the dependency on multiple applications, some of which are custom-made for the Company’s business, and data sources associated with the revenue recognition process. Given the complex automated systems utilized to capture, process, and ultimately record revenues, performing procedures to audit revenues from transaction fees and service fees in the Company's core platform required a high degree of auditor judgment and extensive audit effort. |
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s revenue recognition process in the Company's core platform. For example, with the assistance of IT professionals, we tested the controls over the initiation and recognition of transactions. We also tested the controls related to the key application interfaces between the Company’s self-developed systems, which included controls related to access to the relevant applications and data, changes to the relevant systems and interfaces, as well as controls over the configuration of the relevant applications. |
Our substantive audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data within the Company’s accounting system, performing, with the assistance of our IT professionals, a recalculation of transaction fees and service fees in the Company's core platform recorded through the Company’s accounting system, and comparing to the Company’s recorded revenues. We performed, on a sample basis, transactions testing by agreeing the amounts recognized in the accounting system to third-party documentation. We also evaluated the Company’s disclosures included in Note 2u to the consolidated financial statements. |

The Company has not provided deferred tax liability on future distributions of tax-exempt earnings, as the Company intends to reinvest any income derived from its Beneficiary Enterprise program and not to distribute such income as a dividend. Accordingly, such earnings (amounting to $18,819 as of December 31, 2023) have been considered to be permanently reinvested. If these earnings will be distributed, they will be taxed at the applicable corporate tax rate of 23%.
