We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ganga Pharmaceuticals Limited, which comprises the BalanceSheet as at March 31, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the statement of CashFlows ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafterreferred to as “the financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financialstatements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 in the manner so required and give a true and fair viewin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2024, and its profit, changes in equity and its cash flow for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilitiesfor the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with theCode of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence requirementsthat are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under, andwe have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. Webelieve that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on thefinancial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financialstatements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as awhole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determinedthat there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and ourauditors' report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion 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 is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained inthe audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that thereis a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance andchanges in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding theassets 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 andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview 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 asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are 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 assuranceis a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for oneresulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal 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 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 andrelated disclosures 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 financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (in) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating theresults of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the 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 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese 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 adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
