While filing audit report can we make a generalised observation like this:

In the course of our audit, for the purpose of verifying disallowances under section 43B(h) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as per clause 22, we have conducted verification on a test check basis. We have relied on the MSME classification provided by the auditee and the representations made by the management. We have not independently verified the accuracy of the MSME classification. Consequently, our verification of the compliance with section 43B(h) is based on the information and representations provided by the auditee's management, and our opinion is formed based on the selected samples reviewed. Our opinion is thus dependent on the correctness of these classifications, representations, and the sample's adequacy. Due to these limitations, the amount of disallowance mentioned in clause 22 may not be accurate or complete.
