Revenue from sale of goods is recognized whencontrol of the products being sold is transferred tothe customer and when there are no otherunfulfilled obligations. The performanceobligations in the contracts are fulfilled at the timeof dispatch, delivery or upon formal customeracceptance depending on customer terms.
We identified revenue recognition as a key auditmatter because the Company and its externalstakeholders focus on revenue as a keyperformance indicator. This could create anincentive for revenue to be overstated orrecognized before control has been transferred.
In view of the significance of the matter we appliedthe following audit procedures in this area, amongother procedures, to obtain sufficient appropriateaudit evidence:
1. We assessed the appropriateness of the revenuerecognition accounting policies and its complianceswith applicable Indian Accounting Standards. Weread the contracts with customer, distributors,franchisees etc. to determine appropriateness ofrevenue recognition.
2. We evaluated the design of key internal financialcontrols and operating effectiveness of the relevantkey controls with respect to revenue recognition onselected transactions.
3. We evaluated the design, implementation andoperating effectiveness of management's general ITcontrols and key application controls over theCompany's IT systems which govern revenuerecognition, including access controls, controls overprogram changes and interfaces between differentsystems.

If we conclude thata material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
