Revenue from fixed-price contracts using thepercentage-of-completion method - Refer Notes 2 (iii)
(a), 3(xiii)B(i) and 22 to the financial statements.
Key Audit Matter Description
Revenue from fixed-price contracts, including softwaredevelopment, and integration contracts, where theperformance obligations are satisfied over time, isrecognized using the percentage-of-completion method.
Use of the percentage-of-completion method requiresthe Company to determine the project costs incurred todate as a percentage of total estimated project costs atcompletion. The estimation of total project costs involvessignificant judgement and is assessed throughout theperiod of the contract to reflect any changes based onthe latest available information. In addition, provisionsfor estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contractsare recorded in the period in which such losses becomeprobable based on the total estimated project costs.
We identified the revenue recognition for fixed-pricecontracts where the percentage-of-completion methodis used as a key audit matter because of the significantjudgement involved in estimating the efforts to completesuch contracts.
This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requiresconsideration of progress of the contract, efforts incurredto-date and estimates of efforts required to complete theremaining performance obligations.
This required a high degree of auditor judgment inevaluating the audit evidence supporting estimated effortsto complete and a higher extent of audit effort to evaluatethe reasonableness of the total estimated efforts used torecognize revenue from fixed-price contracts.
How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to estimates of efforts tocomplete for fixed-price contracts accounted using thepercentage-of-completion method included the following,among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to (1)recording of efforts incurred and estimation of effortsrequired to complete the remaining performanceobligations, and (2) access and application controlspertaining to time recording and allocation systems,which prevents unauthorised changes to recording ofefforts incurred.
• We selected a sample of fixed-price contracts withcustomers accounted using percentage-of-completionmethod and performed the following:
• Read the contract and based on the terms andconditions evaluated whether recognizing revenueover time using percentage-of-completion methodwas appropriate, and the contract was included inmanagement's calculation of revenue over time.
• Evaluated the appropriateness of and consistencyin the application of management's policies andmethodologies to estimate progress towardssatisfying the performance obligation.
• Compared efforts incurred to date with Company'sestimate of efforts incurred to date to identifysignificant variations and evaluate whether thosevariations have been considered appropriatelyin estimating the remaining efforts to completethe contract.
• Tested the estimate for consistency with the statusof delivery of milestones, customer acceptances andother related information to identify possible delaysin achieving milestones, which require changesin estimated efforts to complete the remainingperformance obligations.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT ANDBOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE STANDALONEFINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these standalone financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance including other comprehensiveincome, cash flows and changes in equity of the Companyin accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including Ind AS specified under section133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevantto the preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements,management and Board of Directors is responsible forassessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone Financial Statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Undersection 143(3)0) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls with referenceto Standalone Financial Statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the Standalone Financial Statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Standalone FinancialStatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individuallyor in aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of theStandalone Financial Statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in the StandaloneFinancial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal financial controlsthat we identify during our audit.
