We have conducted the audit of the Financial Statements inaccordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), asspecified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Ourresponsibility under those Standards are further describedin the Auditors' Responsibility for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of my report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)together with the ethical requirements that are relevant tomy audit of the financial statements under the provisions ofthe Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled my
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believethat the audit evidence obtained by me is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion on theFinancial Statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, wewould like to state that:
i) The Ledger Balance confirmations of few parties to whomloan are granted or from whom loans are taken by thecompany during the year is not available and hence, cannotbe verified by us and same is subject to managementwritten representation letter.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thepreparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the ManagementDiscussion and Analysis, Board's Report includingAnnexures to Board's Report, Business ResponsibilityReport, Corporate Governance and Shareholder'sInformation, but does not include the financial statementsand our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover theother information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude thatthere is a no material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing toreport in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, financial performance,total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS andother accounting principles generally accepted in India. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a true andfair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basisof accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance withSAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraudis higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosuresin the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere 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 financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
