The Company recognises ExpectedCredit Losses (ECL) on loan assetsunder IND AS 109 “FinancialInstruments” based on the ExpectedCredit Loss model developed by theCompany. The estimation of expectedcredit loss on financial instrumentsinvolves significant judgement andestimates. Key estimates involvedetermining Exposure at Default(EAD), Probability at Default (PD)and Loss Given Default (LGD)using historical information andManagement risk assessment ofpresent underlying financial assets.Hence, we have considered theestimation of ECL as a Key AuditMatter.
Our audit incorporated the following procedures with regard to
ECL: -
• Assessed the accounting policy for impairment of financialassets and its compliance with IND AS 109.
• Obtained an understanding of the Company’s ECL calculationand the underlying assumptions.
• Tested the design and effectiveness of internal controls over thecompleteness and accuracy information used in the estimationof PD and LGD.
• Sample testing of the accuracy and appropriateness ofinformation used in the estimation of PD and LGD.
• Tested the arithmetical accuracy of the computation of PD andLGD and also performed analytical procedures to verify thereasonableness of the computation.
• Reconciled the total financial assets considered for ECLestimation with the books of accounts to ensure thecompleteness.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Financial Statements as awhole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anAuditor’s Report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basisof these Financial Statements.

• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the Financial Statements,whether due to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion.

circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of theAct, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the company hasadequate internal financial controls withrespect to financial statements in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.

If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the Financial Statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor’s report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structureand content of the Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whetherthe Financial Statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
