Key Audit Matter:
Revenue Recognition
How the Key Audit Matter was addressed in our audit.
Revenue from constructions contracts represents significant amount of the totalrevenue from operations of the Company.
In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following auditprocedures:
Revenue from these contracts is recognized on satisfaction of the performanceobligations over a period of time and in accordance with the requirements ofrelevant accounting standard AS-7 Construction Contract using the percentage ofcompletion method.
This method requires significant management judgment in areas such as:
• Evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s revenue recognitionpolicies;
• Assessed compliance of the Company’s policies in respect of revenuerecognition with the applicable accounting standard AS-7 constructioncontract;
• Estimation of total contract revenue and total costs,
• Assessment of contract modifications, variations, claims, and liquidateddamages,
• For a sample of contracts, tested the appropriateness of amountrecognized by:
♦ reviewing the contract terms and conditions
• Determination of the stage of completion at the reporting date,
♦ evaluating the identification of performance obligation
• Evaluation of receivables, unbilled revenue, and contract liabilities.
Due to significant judgment involved particularly in determining the percentageof completion and forecasting future costs and revenues, we have consideredmeasurement of contract revenue as a key audit matter.
♦ evaluating the appropriateness of management’s assessment thatperformance obligation was satisfied over time and consequentrecognition of revenue.
♦ Reviewed claims and variations and verified related balances (includingunbilled revenue) for compliance with AS-7.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements:
9. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
10. In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
11. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements:
12. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue 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 thatan audit conducted in accordance with 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 economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese standalone financial statements.
13. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
i. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
ii. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Undersection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls withrespect to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
iii. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
iv. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
v. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
14. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions ofa reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financialstatements.
15. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant auditfindings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
16. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
17. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
