• Focusing on the Company’s revenue recognition for compliance withInd AS;
Due to the Company’s sales under variouscontractual terms and across the country,delivery to customers in different regionsmight take different time periods and mayresult in undelivered goods at the periodend.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Standalone Financial Statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these Standalone FinancialStatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement 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 control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has an adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, andcontent of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether thestandalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thestandalone financial statements that, individually or inthe aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thestandalone financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality 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 ofany identified misstatements in the standalone 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 witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
