Key Audit Matter |
Auditor''s Response |
|
Completion by way of resolution from Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process and Fund Infusion by SRA Pursuant to the order of the Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Kolkata Bench dated June 5, 2024, the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) initiated against the Company has been concluded by way of resolution. As per the approved resolution plan, the Successful Resolution Applicant (SRA) has infused the committed funds into the Company, and control has been transferred to the new management. This event has a significant bearing on the financial statements, particularly in relation to the assessment of going concern, reclassification of liabilities, and disclosures regarding the resolution process. The appropriateness of accounting and disclosure related to the implementation of the resolution plan required significant auditor attention due to the nature, size, and timing of the transaction. |
Principal Audit Procedures Our audit procedures included, among others: ⢠Evaluating the Company''s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, considering the fund infusion and operational revival post-CIRP ⢠Obtaining and examining the NCLT order dated June 5, 2024 and other relevant correspondence, including the approved resolution plan. ⢠Assessing the adequacy and appropriateness of disclosures made in the financial statements in relation to the CIRP and the actions undertaken pursuant to the approved resolution plan. ⢠Discussing with the management and the resolution professional to understand the implementation status of the approved resolution plan and related financial impacts. ⢠Reviewing the accounting treatment of transactions arising from the approved resolution plan and evaluating the presentation of liabilities and assets in the financial statements. Based on the audit procedures performed, we believe that the Company has appropriately accounted for the impact and/or actions pursuant to the approved resolution plan in the financial statements. |
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Director''s Report including Annexures to Director''s Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise 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 are required to report that fact. Since, we have not obtained the Board''s report prior to the date of the Auditor''s report, we are unable to conclude whether or not the other information paragraph is materially misstated with respect to this matter
We expect to obtain the Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information after the date of the Auditor''s report, and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter with those charge with Governance and describe actions applicable under the applicable laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
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 financial statements 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, 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 Company''s 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 management 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 Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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 auditor''s 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 Standards on Auditing 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 Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠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 internal control.
⢠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.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s 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 Company''s ability 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 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 auditor''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 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

INDUSTRIES LIMITED ('the company'), which comprise the balance sheet as

an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal

appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
