We have audited the financial statements of New Markets Advisory Limited ("theCompany"), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31st March 2024, and the statement ofProfit and Loss, (including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equityand statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financialstatements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatoryinformation.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given tous, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act2013 (the Act) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity withthe Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with theCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company asat March 31, 2024, and loss (including other comprehensive income),changes in equity andits cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of theFinancial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company inaccordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants ofIndia ("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of thefinancial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rulesthereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we haveobtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on thefinancial statements.
Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgment, were of most significancein our audit of financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed inthe context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinionthereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not includethe financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we donot express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit orotherwise 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, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified undersection 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of theassets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statementsas 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 ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, 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 todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference tofinancial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individuallyor in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these mattersin our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter shouldnot be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing sowould reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
