The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures toBoard’s Report, Business Responsibility Report and Shareholder’s Information, but does notinclude the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financialstatements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibilityis to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during thecourse of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work wehave performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Ind-ASFinancial Statements.
The Company’s Suspended Board of Directors and Resolution Professional is responsible forthe matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of thesefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing thefinancial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The SuspendedBoard of Directors and Resolution Professionals are responsible for overseeing theCompany’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind-AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind-AS FinancialStatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue 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 will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Ind-AS FinancialStatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions 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 agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We have considered quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in thefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide thosecharged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships andother matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and whereapplicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The Company’s net worth is eroded due to losses incurred by the company. We wereinformed by the Management, that there is no operating income in the company since thecompany is under IBC. RP is in the process of inviting Resolution plan from PRA and afterthe approval of resolution plan, company will be run by successful Resolution applicant. weare unable to comment upon the resultant effect of the same, on whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.
