We have audited the standalone financial statements of Arunis Abode Limited (formerly known as M. B. Parikh
Finstocks Limited) (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March, 2024, and the statement ofprofit and loss (including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows forthe year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of the significant accountingpolicies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalonefinancial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required andgive a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairsof the Company as at 31st March, 2024, and profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flowsfor the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together independent requirements that are relevant to our audit of thestandalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and Rules their under, and we have fulfilled our otherethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence wehave obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters ('KAM') are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significanc e in our audit ofthe standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit ofthe standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separateopinion on these matters.
The Company has major income from consultancy to its clients relating to real estate business and other incomes.
The Company applies Ind AS 115 “Revenue from contracts with customers” for recognition of revenue from consultancy,which is being recognised at a point in time upon the Company satisfying its performance obligation which is linked tothe informing customer of completion of service and receiving confirmation from customer regarding invoicegeneration.
Since significant judgement is involved in identifying performance obligations and determining when 'confirmation' ofthe customer is received basis which revenue is recognised, we have considered revenue recognition as a key auditmatter.
Our audit procedures in respect of this area, among others, included the following:
• Read the company's revenue recognition accounting policies and evaluated the appropriateness of the same withrespect to principles of Ind AS 115 and their application to the significant customer contracts;
• Obtained and understood the company's process for revenue recognition including identification of performanceobligations and receipt of confirmation from customer for completion of service;
• Evaluated the design and implementation and verified, on a test check basis, the operating effectiveness of keyinternal controls over revenue recognition including controls around provision of consultancy and receiving customerconfirmation;
•Verified the sample of revenue contract for consultancy to identify the performance obligations of the company underthese contracts and assessed whether these performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time basedon the criteria specified under Ind AS 115;
•Assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made in standalone financial statements in compliancewith the requirements of Ind AS 115 - 'Revenue from contracts with customer'.
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 standalone financialstatements and our auditors' report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financialstatements or our knowledge obtained during the course of 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; weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state ofaffairs, profit and other 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 (Ind AS) specified undersection 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance withthe provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements 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 and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's standalone financial reporting process.
Our 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 ouropinion. 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 error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone 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 orerror, 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 misstatementresulting 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference tostandalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such 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 castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty 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 based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether standalone the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of ouraudit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during 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 thatmay reasonably 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 ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financial statement of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
