goals. Risks are assessed based on their probability of occurrence and potential impact, enabling prioritized
and timely intervention.

While risk minimization has been a foundational element of our operations in the past, the evolving regulatory
environment and business complexities necessitated a more structured and documented approach.

resilience in an increasingly dynamic and uncertain business environment.

Oversight of the risk management process is vested with the Audit-Risk Management and Compliance
Committee, chaired by Mr. Kalyan Vijay Sivalenka. The committee periodically reviews the risk matrix,

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY:

Your company believes that strong internal controls are essential for the smooth and secure functioning of
any organization. These controls include processes, policies, and procedures that help protect the company’s
resources from risks and threats. They ensure that transactions are approved properly, recorded accurately,
and carried out in line with company policies and this would reduce the chances of mistakes, fraud, or
incorrect financial reporting. Your company’s internal control framework is designed to ensure accuracy,
transparency, and accountability across all business processes, with a strong focus on risk mitigation and
adherence to statutory, contractual, and security requirements.

A key part of this system is the role of the Audit Committee. Working closely with the Internal Auditor,
the Audit Committee regularly reviews the company’s internal controls. These reviews take place at fixed
intervals and are aimed at checking whether the controls are effective. If any gap is found, the Audit
Committee recommends corrective action to fix it. The company also carries out regular risk assessments
for both existing processes and any new workflows introduced. This proactive approach helps identify risks
early so that preventive measures can be taken before issues arise. By constantly reviewing and updating its
risk management strategies, the company stays prepared for changing business needs and external factors.

INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL WITH REFERENCE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. During
the year no material weakness in the design or operation was observed.

VIGIL MECHANISM / WHISTLE BLOWER POLICY:

The Company maintains a strong commitment to ethical conduct, corporate transparency, and fostering a

Mechanism, commonly referred to as the Whistle Blower Policy, has been instituted to enable employees
and stakeholders to raise concerns regarding any actual or suspected unethical behavior, violation of legal
or regulatory requirements, or any other wrongful conduct.

The mechanism is designed to promote a culture of openness and accountability, encouraging individuals
to report concerns without the risk of retaliation, intimidation, or harassment. This ensures that all business
practices and employee actions align with the Company’s values of honesty, fairness, and professional
integrity.

This policy is an essential element of the Company’s governance framework and reflects its zero-tolerance
stance toward misconduct. Details of the Vigil Mechanism and procedures for reporting concerns are
outlined in the Corporate Governance Report, and the full policy is available on the Company’s website at:
http://www.megasoft.com/corporate-governance.html”

Risk Management

Although the company has long been following the principle of risk minimization as is the norm in every industry, it has now become a compulsion.

Therefore, in accordance with Section 134(3)(n) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 17(9) SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 the Board members formally adopted steps for framing, implementing and monitoring the risk management policy for the company.

A disciplined approach to risk is important in a diversified organization like ours in order to ensure that we are executing according to our strategic objectives and that we only accept risk for which we are adequately compensated. We evaluate risk at the individual transaction level, and evaluate aggregated risk at the customer, industry, geographic and collateral-type levels, where appropriate.

At the end of each year, management and the Board jointly develop a list of major risks that company plans to prioritize in the next year. Key areas of Risk Management for the year 2017-18 include Data Security and Privacy, Technology obsolescence, Service Delivery, retention and development of Human Resources, Business competition and continuity, Foreign exchange fluctuations & new compliances.

The main objective of Your Company''s risk management policy is to ensure sustainable business growth with stability and to promote a pro-active approach in reporting, evaluating and resolving risks associated with the business. In order to achieve the key objective, the policy establishes a structured and disciplined approach to Risk Management, in order to guide decisions on risk related issues.

The risk governance structure is led by the Audit/Risk & Compliance Committee, chaired by the Mr. Anil Kumar Sood.

As a matter of policy, these risks are assessed and steps as appropriate are taken to mitigate the same.
