INDUSTRIES LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss including Other
Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity
for the year then ended, and notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to
as ''Standalone Financial Statements'').
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given
to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act") in the manner so required and
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024 and its loss, total
comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on
that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial
Statements under the provisions of the Act 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.
Other Information
The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include
the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is
to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the Standalone 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 the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)
of the Act 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, Cash Flows and Changes in Equity of the Company in accordance
with the Ind AS and other 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 Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management 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
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 Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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
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 Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 Act, 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 Standalone 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 Standalone Financial
Statements including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
⢠Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements
that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be
influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning
the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone 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 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 Standalone 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.
