TO THE MEMBERS OF KANORIA ENERGY & INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS A INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED)
Report on the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the Ind AS financial statements of Kanoria Energy &
Infrastructure Limited (Formerly Known as A Infrastructure Limited)
("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2024, the
statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive
income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of the material accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein
referred to as " financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (Act") in the manner so required and
give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
Accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended
(the Ind AS) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, the profit,
total comprehensive income, changes in equity 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(SAs) are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the
Audit of the 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(ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
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 (ICAIs)Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment,
were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the
current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Description of Key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition (refer note No. 1 (10) to the Financial Statements)
The Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Revenue Recognition | Our audit procedures included: |
Revenue is recognized when the control of the underlying products has been transferred to the customer. There is a risk of revenue being overstated due to fraud resulting from the pressure on management to achieve performance targets at the reporting period end. | a) Assessed the appropriateness of the companys revenue recognition accounting policies, including those relating to discounts, incentives and rebates by comparing with the applicable accounting standards; |
Revenue is measured net of discounts, rebates and incentives earned by customers on the Companys sales. | b) Tested the operating effectiveness of the general IT control environment and key IT application controls over recognition of revenue, calculation of discounts, incentives and rebates; |
Due to the Companys presence across different marketing regions within the country and the competitive business environment, the estimation of the various types of discounts, rebates and incentives to be recognized based on sales made during the year is material and considered to be judgmental. | c) Performed test of details: |
Therefore, there is a risk of revenue being misstated as a result of faulty estimations over discounts, incentives and rebates and therefore considered as a key audit matter. | i) Agreed samples of sales, discounts, incentives and rebates to supporting documentation and approvals; |
ii) Obtained supporting documents for sales transactions recorded either side of year end as well as credit notes issued after the year ended to determine whether revenue was recognized in the correct period. | |
d) Comparing the historical discounts, rebates and incentives to current payment trends. We also considered the historical accuracy of the Companys estimates in previous years. | |
e) Assessing manual journals posted to revenue to identify unusual items. and | |
f) Considered the appropriateness of the companys description of the accounting policy, disclosures related to revenue, discounts, incentive and rebates and whether these are adequately presented in the financial statement |
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The Companys management and Board of Directors are responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Companys annual report, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditors report
thereon. Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 that fact. We
have nothing to report in this regard.
Managements Responsibility for the 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs, profit and other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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 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 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 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 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
i. 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
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.
ii. 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 with reference to financial statements in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls.
iii. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by management.
iv. Conclude on the appropriateness of managements 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 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.
v. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality, in the context of any entitys financial statement taken
as a whole, is the nature or magnitude of financial information, or both
that individually or in the combination with other information is reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable primary user of general purpose financial statements. In planning the scope
of our audit work, evaluating the results of our
work and evaluating the financial effect of any identified omissions, misstatements or
obscuration in the financial statements we consider
quantitative materiality and also the qualitative factors.
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 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.

"ANNEXURE B"
ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE IND AS
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS OF KANORIA ENERGY & INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS A
INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of
Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the Internal Financial Controls over financial
reporting of KANORIA ENERGY & INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED (FORMERLY
KNOWN AS A INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED) ("the Company") as of March 31, 2024 in
conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial
statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companys management 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 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 Companys internal
financial controls over financial reporting 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") and the Standards on Auditing, issued
by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed
under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of
internal financial controls, both
applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India.
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 judgement, including
the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the Ind AS 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 Companys internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
Inherent 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, 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, 2024, 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.
