Key audil matter
llm, our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue Recognition
Ref er Note 1 (tl) an<l 17 to the Financial Statements.
The Company recognises revenue in acco1·dance with Ind AS 11."i "Revenue from Contracts ·with Customers".
Revenue from the sale of product, is recognized when control of products b,�ing sold is transferred to customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation and it is measured at fair value of the consideration receiw�d or receivable, after deduction of any discounts and taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services tax etc.
We have considered revenue recognition as a key audit matter since this has been identified as significant risk ; and additional disclosures arc required to be made in accordance vvith the applicable accounting standards.
Our testing of revenue transactions was designed to cover a certain sample of customer contracts. Our audit proccdurc-s included the following:
Understanding, evaluating the design and testing the operating effectiveness of controls over revenue recognition process including contract monitoring, billings and approvals;
Evaluating the contract terms for assessment of 1hc timing of transfer of control to the customer to assess whether revenue is recognised appropriately;
Testing whether the revenue recognition is in line with the terms of customer contracts;
Assessing whether fair value of consideration received, or receivable has been determined appropriately in terms of the customer contract, reviewing, customer correspondence and verif[y] ing that pre and post year end cnt.-off had been appropriately applied;
Testing ofjournal entries for unusual revenue transactions which arc not within the normal course of business; and
Evaluating adequacy of the presentation and disclosures
Based on the above procedures, no significant exceptions were noted in revenue recognition including those relating to presentation and disclosures.

Rt!sponsibililies ofrnanagernent and those charged with governance for the financial statements
-
The Corn pany's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of 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 gcoerally accepted in India, inclllding 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 f[r] auds 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, trrnt were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness oft he 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, 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.
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
-
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whet.her the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance .vith 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 judgrnent and maintain professional scepticism throughoul the audit. We also:
-
a 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 1isk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from f[r] auil is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omiBsions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Inherent Limitation.s of Internal Financial Controls ·with reference to financial statements
