We identified the accuracy and completenessof disclosure of Forward contracts as set outin respective notes to the Standalone financialstatements as a key audit matter due to significanceof the transaction during the year ended 31stMarch, 2025.
Our audit procedures included and were not limited to the following:
Tested the design, implementation and operating effectivenessof the controls established by the Company in the process ofdetermination of fair value of the Forward Contracts.
Discussed potential changes in key drivers as compared toprevious year to evaluate the inputs and assumptions used.
Reviewed the disclosures made by the Company in the StandaloneFinancial Statements.
Obtained Management Representation Letter as regards to the fairvaluation of these Forward contracts.
5. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report,Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not includethe standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, indoing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or ourknowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
6. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of theAct. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraud and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial control, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
7. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has an adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materially is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that individually or in aggregate makes it probablethat the economic decision of reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consideredquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our work and in evaluating the result of work in (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatement in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
