Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit ofthe financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of thefinancial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinionon these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue recognition as per Ind AS 115
Our audit procedures included the following:
Refer to Note - 1 (Significant Accounting Policies) andNote - 1.10 (Revenue from operations) of the financialstatements.
The Company's revenue is principally derived from saleof various medicine products.
In accordance with Ind AS 115, revenue from sale ofgoods is recognized when control of the products beingsold is transferred to the customer and when there areno unfulfilled obligations. The performance obligationsin the contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch,delivery or upon formal customer acceptance dependingon terms of contract with the customer. Revenue ismeasured at fair value of the consideration received orreceivable after deduction of any trade / volumediscounts and taxes or duties collected.
We identified revenue recognition as a key audit mattersince revenue is significant to the financial statementsand is required to be recognized as per the requirementsof applicable accounting framework.
We evaluated the design and tested operating effectivenessof the relevant controls with respect to revenue recognitionincluding those relating to cut off at year end;
We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognitionaccounting policies in line with Ind AS 115 “Revenue fromContracts with Customers”;
We performed substantive testing of revenue transactions,recorded during the year by testing the underlying documentswhich included goods dispatch notes, shipping documentsand customer acknowledgments, as applicable;
We tested manual journal entries posted to revenue toidentify unusual items;
We tested, on a sample basis, specific revenue transactionsrecorded before and after the financial year end dateincluding examination of credit notes issued after the yearend to determine whether the revenue has been recognizedin the appropriate financial period.
Based on the above stated procedures, no significantexceptions were noted in revenue recognition.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the 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, indoing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledgeobtained 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.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013(“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India (Indian GAAPs), including the Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS') specified under Section 133 of theAct, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
This responsibility also includes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionof the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting the frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of internal financial control, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is res ponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basisof accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial 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 accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errorand are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic 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 skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
o Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
o 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, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statementsin place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
o Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
o Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast 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 thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
o 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 achievesfair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timingof the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to 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 Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
