Our opinion is not qualified in respect of above matters
reported in Key Audit Matters as per the documents verified
and management explanation received.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under
those Standards are further described in the Auditorâs
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements under the provisions of the Companies Act,
2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these
Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance
including other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with Ind AS
including the accounting Standards specified under section
133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance
of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for 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 adequate internal financial controls,
that were operating 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 fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors
is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditorâs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
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 financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
H Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain 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 for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
intprrml rnntrnl
H Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls system in place
and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
H Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
H Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditorâs report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease
to continue as a going concern.
H Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.

funding party (ultimate beneficiaries) or provide
guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the
Ultimate beneficiaries.
Based on the audit procedures performed which we
considered reasonable and appropriate, we report that
nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to
believe that the above representations given by the
management contain any material mis-statement.
i) No Dividend has been declared or paid during the year,
hence reporting on compliance of section 123 of the Act
is not applicable.
j) Based on our examination which included test checks,
the company has used an accounting software for
maintaining its books of account which has a feature
of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same
has operated throughout the year for all relevant
transactions recorded in the software. Further, during

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of AFFORDABLE ROBOTIC AND AUTOMATION LTD. (âthe Companyâ) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
