In view of this, the Ind AS financial statements for year ended March 31, 2024 of the Company are prepared ongoing concern basis.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statementsof the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming ouropinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that we do not have any matters to bereported as Key audit matters to be communicated in our Report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, BusinessResponsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the financial statements and ourauditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusionthereon. 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 is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during thecourse of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to the preparation ofthese financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total Comprehensive Income,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted inIndia.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguardingof the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going c oncern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern 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 for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes 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 a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As a part of an audit inaccordance with the SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the Audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay 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 are appropriatein the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing an opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that 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 to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that theeconomic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant 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 requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, wedetermine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
