To the Members of
Beacon Trusteeship Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Beacon Trusteeship
Limited ("the
Company"), which comprise the standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the
standalone Statement
of Profit and Loss and the standalone Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, notes
to the standalone
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory
information (hereinafter 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
("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, 2025, its profit
and its cash flows 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
Auditors 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 Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules made 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 on the
standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most
significance in our
audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the
context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have no key matters to be
communicated in
our report.
Information Other than the Standalone financial statements and
Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of
the other
information. The other information comprises of the information included in the Companys
annual report but
does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors 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 auditor or otherwise
appears to be
materially mis-stated. 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. We have
nothing to report in this
regard.
Managements and Board of Directors Responsibility for the
Standalone financial statements
The Companys Management and Board of Directors are 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 financial position, financial performance, and cash flow of the Company in
accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
prescribed 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, the Management and 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 management 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 statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone
financial statements 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 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. The description of the auditors responsibilities for the audit of
the standalone financial
statements is mentioned below:
As a 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
the 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 an opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with
reference to
standalone 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 Management and Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Managements and 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 Companys ability 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 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 auditors 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.
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 auditors 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.

internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements,
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
judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 over financial reporting with reference
to these standalone
financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to these
Standalone financial statements
A companys internal financial control with reference to these standalone financial
statements is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation
of standalone financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting
principles. A companys internal financial control with reference to these standalone
financial statements
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
standalone
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on
the standalone financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference
to these Standalone financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to
these standalone financial
statements, 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 with reference to these standalone financial statements to
future periods are
subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to these standalone
financial statements
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
