Managements Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results
The statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone financial statements.
The Companys Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of
these standalone financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and
other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under Section 133 of the Act head with relevant rules issued there under and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of
the Listing Regulations. 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 results that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial results, the Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Companys 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial
reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement
responsibility is to issue a report on these financial results based on our audit
conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing generally accepted in India. However,
because of the matters described in the Basis of Disclaimer of Conclusion Paragraph, we
were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for our
conclusion on these financial results.
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 results, 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 whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors 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
ability of the Group and its associate to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report
to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial results 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 auditors report.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone
financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results
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 & 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.
Other Matter
Attention is drawn to the fact that the figures for the quarter ended 31st
March 2023 and the corresponding quarter ended in the previous year as reported in these
Annual Standalone Financial Results are the balancing figure between audited figure in
respect of the full financial year and published year to date figures up to the end of the
third quarter of the relevant financial year. Also, figures up to the end of the third
quarter had only been reviewed and not subject to audit.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory
Requirements section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of
Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Alexander
Stamps and Coins Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2023 in conjunction
with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on
that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Board of Directors of the Company 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 respective companys 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.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over
financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial
Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies
Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 auditors judgemen t, 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 internal financial controls system over financial
reporting of the Company.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed
to p rovide 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 companys 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 authorisations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given
to us, 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, 2023, 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.
