Tested the design, implementation and operatingeffectiveness of the Company’s general IT controls andkey IT/manual controls. These are in respect of theCompany’s controls which govern timing of recognitionof revenue including creation of new customers insystem.
For revenue from sale of products, we selected samples(including year-end testing of cut-off transactions) andtested the underlying documents, including customercontracts, invoices and shipping documents to assessand analyse the timing of recognition of revenue andcontractual terms; Performed trend analysis overrevenue as compared to previous periods.

The otherinformation comprises the information included inthe Management discussion and Analysis, Boardsreports including annexure to board report, Businessresponsibility report, Corporate Governance reportand shareholder information but does not include thefinancial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not coverthe other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements, orour knowledge obtained during our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated. If, based on thework we have performed, we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement of this other information; we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to reportin this regard.
Responsibility of Management for the StandaloneFinancial Statements
The Company’s management and Board of Directorsis responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)of the Act with respect to the preparation of thesefinancial statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance includingother comprehensive income, cash flows and changesin equity of the Company in accordance with the IndianAccounting Standards prescribed under section 133of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectivelyfor ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statement that give a trueand fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, managementis responsible for assessing the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financialstatements.
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 materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financialcontrol relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by themanagement and board of directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually orin 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 scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear onour independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the financialstatements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor’s report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
