Key Audit Matter
Auditor's Response
1.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The company determines the allowance for credit lossesbased on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect thecurrent and future economic conditions.
In calculating the expected credit loss, the company hasconsidered the credit reports and other related creditinformation for its customers to estimate the probability ofdefault in future.
We identified allowance for credit losses as a key auditmatter because the Group exercises significant judgment incalculating the expected credit losses.
Refer Notes 10 to the financial statements.
Principal Audit Procedures
Our audit procedures related to the allowance for credit lossesfor trade receivables included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over the
(1) development of the methodology for the allowance forcredit losses, including consideration of the current andestimated future economic conditions
(2) completeness and accuracy of information used in theestimation of probability of default and
(3) computation of the allowance for credit losses.
For a sample of customers:
We tested the input data such as credit reports and othercredit related information used in estimating the probabilityof default by comparing them to external and internal sourcesof information. We tested the mathematical accuracy andcomputation of the allowances by using the same input dataused by the company.
Emphasis of Matter
1. We draw attention to Note 40.14, which pertains toexceptional items which includes excise refund of H418.93Lakhfor 2009-2014 received as per order dated February11, 2025 by Central Excise Division - Dibrugarh andreceivables/ advance written off during the year amountingto H314.64 Lakh.
2. We also draw attention to Note 40.2, where the companyhas ascertained on the basis of legal opinion on IncomeTax Cases amounting to H5827.57 Lakh pertaining tothe Assessment Year 2018-19 and H69.41 Lakh for theAssessment Year 2019-2020, which has a remote possibilityof occurrence. Therefore, the same is not contingent liability.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statementsand Auditor's Report thereon
The Company's management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Company's annualreport but does not include the financial statements and ourauditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover theother information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in theaudit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, basedon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement of this other information, we are requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management's Responsibility for the financialstatements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these financial statementsthat gives a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards(Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with theCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, asamended. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevantto the preparation and presentation of the financial statements
that gives a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsiblefor assessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing thecompany's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
Ý I dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thefinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detectinga material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue asa going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whetherthe financial statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning thescope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work;and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements inthe financial statements.
We communicate with management regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significantaudit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrol that we identify during our audit.
We also provide management with a statement that wehave complied with relevant ethical requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationshipsand other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with management, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of thefinancial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
