Rubix Data Sciences releases its Quarterly Risk Transition Report for Q2 FY 2022


Mumbai, 16thNovember 2021: Rubix Data Sciences Pvt Ltd (Rubix), a technology and analytics-based B2B Risk Management and Monitoring platform,released itsQuarterly Risk Transition Report covering changes in risk from Q1 FY 2022 (April – June 2021) to Q2FY 2022(July – September 2021).

At the end of each quarter of the Indian financial year (April - March), Rubix compares the data of how Indian business entities in its monitoring portfolio have performed versus the prior quarter, from a statutory compliance and credit rating perspective. 

The key parameters being monitored each quarter are GST Filings, Provident Fund Filings and Credit Ratings.  

The purpose of the Quarterly Risk Transition Report is to see if the business entities being monitored show any deterioration or improvement from a statutory compliance or external credit rating perspective as compared with the prior quarter.  There could be several reasons for non-compliance with statutory requirements for paying of GST and Provident Fund and filing the Returns.  Of these, cash flow delays or liquidity problems that business entities face are probably the most important drivers for non-compliance.  Similarly, changes in Credit Ratings need to be examined closely in order to understand the reasons behind the change. 

A deterioration in any of the above parameters for the business entities should raise red-flags and serve as early warning signals for those monitoring the portfolio. 

Below are the key findings of theRubix Quarterly Risk Transition Report for Q2 FY 2022: 

1. The GST Quarterly Monitoring Report is prepared basis 10,973 business entities and providesan apple-to-apple comparison between both quarters. The business entities being monitored belong to more than 35 sectors of the economy.
