I have audited the standalone financial statements of Ace Software Exports Limited ("the Company") which comprise theBalance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)),Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the standalone financialstatements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information for the year ended onthat date (hereinafter referred to as "Standalone Financial Statements").
In my opinion and to the best of my information and according to the explanations given to me, the aforesaid StandaloneFinancial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") in the manner sorequired and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 ofthe Act, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as atMarch 31, 2025, its Profit including other comprehensive income/(Loss), changes in equity and its cash flows for the yearended on that date.
I conducted my audit of Standalone Financial Statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specifiedunder Section 143(10) of the Act. My responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the 'Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements' section of my report. I am independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) togetherwith the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisionsof the Act and the Rules thereunder, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the Code of Ethics. I believe that the audit evidences I have obtained are sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for my opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgment, were of most significance in my audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of my audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
I have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in my report.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in theAnnual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and my auditor's report thereon.
My opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and I do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the standalone financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other information and, indoing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or myknowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; I amrequired to report that fact. I 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 thepreparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevantto the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting 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 also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe audit. I 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 my 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, I am also responsible for expressing my 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 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 I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I amrequired to draw attention in my auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of my 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
I 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 I identify during my audit.
I also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, I determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. I describe these matters in my auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, I determine that a matter should not be communicated in my reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
