Key Audit Matters
Auditor's Response
Revenue Recognition:
Principal audit procedures performed:
Revenue from the sale of good (hereinafter referred toas "Revenue") is recognized when Company performsits obligation to its customers and the amount ofrevenue can be measured reliably and recovery of theconsideration is probable. The timing of such revenuerecognition in case of sale of goods is when the controlover the same is transferred to the customer.
The timing of revenue recognition is relevant to thereported performance of the company. The managementconsiders revenue as a key measure for evaluation ofperformance. There is a risk of revenue being recordedbefore control is transferred.
Refer Note 3.11 to the Standalone Financial Statements.

• Evaluated the integrity of the general information and technologycontrol environment and testing the operating effectiveness ofkey IT application controls over revenue recognition.

• Tested the effectiveness of such controls over revenue cut off atthe year-end
• On a sample basis, tested supporting documentation for salestransactions recorded during the year which included salesinvoices, customer contracts and shipping documents.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report,but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report there on.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statement does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statement our responsibility is to read the other information and, indoing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statement or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we haveperformed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. Wehave 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 CompaniesAct, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, statement of changes inequity and cash hows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian Accounting Standards ("Ind As") specified under Section 1 33 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view andare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance isa high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statement, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statement or, if such disclosuresare 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.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statement, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statement that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statement may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financialstatement.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in the internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significancein the audit of the standalone financial statement of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
