III. Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the financial year ended 31st March, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion on these matters, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
The key audit matters
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
1. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the control of the products being sold has been transferred to the customer. There is a risk of revenue being overstated as management, to achieve its performance targets, may recognize as revenue on sale of products though control may not have transferred to the customer. This was an area of focus for us.
Refer Note 02.IX of the financial statements for details on accounting policy on revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Obtained an understanding of the systems, processes and controls implemented by the company for recording revenue from sale of goods.
• Evaluated Company’s revenue recognition policies by assessing compliance with applicable accounting standards.
• Assessed the IT environment in which the business system operates and tested system controls involved in revenue recognition.
• Tested design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the company’s controls on generating sales order, recording of revenue, creation of new customers and performance of revenue cut off.
• On selected statistical samples of transactions, we tested the underlying documents, which include testing contractual terms of sale contracts/ invoices, shipping documents and lag time/ proof of delivery to test evidence for transfer of control.
• Performed procedures to identify and test exceptional transactions such as unusual sales trend, one off sales to customers, to identify any unusual transactions.
2. Related Party Transactions
We identified related party transactions as a key audit matter due to the significance of related party transactions, regulatory compliance and risk of such transactions remaining undisclosed in the financial statements.
• Evaluated the Company’s policies, processes and procedures in respect of identifying and disclosing related party transactions.
• Read the minutes of meetings of the shareholders, Board and Audit Committee regarding the Company’s assessment of related party transactions for arm’s length pricing.
• Assessed the compliance with Companies Act 2013, including authorization and approvals as specified in sections 177 and 188 of the Companies Act, 2013, and Rules thereon and the Securities and Exchange Board of India regulations with respect to related party transactions.
3. Provisions & Contingent Liabilities
In accordance with Accounting Criteria set under Ind AS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets significant degree of Management Judgment is involved in determining whether an obligation exists and whether a provision should be recognized as at the reporting date or it needs to be disclosed as Contingent liability.
Our Audit Procedure tested the design and operating effectiveness, key control over the estimation, monitoring and disclosure of Provisions and contingent liabilities. For said details. Refer Note no. 41 to the Audited Financial Statements.
Further Significant Judgments are also involved in measuring such obligations the most significant of which are assessment of liability. Judgment is involved in the determination of whether any outflow in respect of identified material matters is probable and can be estimated reliably.
Adequacy of Provision, appropriateness of assumption and judgment used in the estimation of significant provision, adequacy of disclosure of provision for liabilities and Contingent Liabilities, considering the significance of the above matter to the Financial Statement and significant Auditor's attention required to test such estimate, we have identified this as a key Audit matter for Current Year Audit.
4. Allowances for credit losses
The Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions.
The Company considered current and anticipated future economic conditions. We identified allowance for credit losses as a key audit matter because the Company exercises significant judgment in calculating the expected credit losses.
Our audit procedures related to the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables and advances include the following, among others: We tested the effectiveness of controls over the
• development of the methodology for the allowance for credit losses, including consideration of the current and estimated future economic conditions
• completeness and accuracy of information used in the estimation of probability of default and
• Computation of the allowance for credit losses.
We focused on appropriate application of accounting principles, validating completeness and accuracy of the data and reasonableness of assumptions used in the model.
IV. Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 21.03 of the financial statements, which describes that, The Company has taken a loan from Kotak Mahindra Bank for Rs. 175.00 Lakhs on 01/11/2021, for which charge has not been created till date. However, management is under process for creation of charge.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
V. Information other than the Ind AS financial statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the Financial Statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of 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 in the 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 are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
VI. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act read with the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) rules 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate 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 Statements 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 and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors and management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
VII. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS financial statements
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit. In conducting our audit, we have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under and the Order issued under section 143(11) of the Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect 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 the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'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'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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions 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 the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• We believe that the Audit Evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our Audit opinion and the Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 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 requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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 adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
