The Members Of Muzali Arts Limited
Report On the Audit Of The Financial Statements
Disclaimer of Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Statement of standalone financial results of MUZALI
ARTS LIMITED ("the Company"), for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2024
("Statement"), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the
requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the "Listing Regulations").
We do not express any opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the entity
because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of
opinion
section of our report. Due to our inability to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
evidence,
particularly regarding the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
section,
we are unable to form an opinion on the fairness of these standalone financial statements
in
all material respects.
Basis for Disclaimer of opinion
The company has written off Creditor amounting to Rs 15,74,393.30, advance
payment amounting to Rs 11,56,300 & other balance written off amounting to Rs
9,75,000.00, Due to lack of proper documentation for the creditor written-off ,
advances written off & other balance written off raises concerns about the
completeness and accuracy of the accounts payable balance / advances balances
and the adequacy of the companys internal controls over financial reporting.
Without sufficient evidence, we cannot determine whether the write-off is appropriate
and whether the financial statements fairly present the companys financial position
and results of operations.
As per the financial statement, all the interest income was not recognized
during the
period under audit, we requested an explanation from the management regarding
the omission of interest income. However, we did not receive any satisfactory
explanation as to why interest income was not recognized for the entire period. In the
absence of any information regarding the interest receivable to be booked, we are
unable to comment on the impact of this on companys financial position and results
of operations.
We noted a significant deficiency in the documentation of sales transactions
that
occurred in the fourth quarter with no invoice, ewaybill and GST return on record for
verification. The lack of proper documentation for these sales transactions limited
our ability to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the accuracy
and completeness of sales revenue recorded in the fourth quarter. This significantly
impacts our assessment of the risk of material misstatement in the financial
statements. Due to this we are unable to comment on whether the financial
statements fairly present the companys financial position and results of operations.
The Company failed to provide us with the GST reconciliation statement / GST
return for the period under review. These reconciliation / return statement are
crucial for verifying the accuracy and completeness of GST-related entries in the
financial statements. In the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the
financial position and result of operations.
Lack of Supporting Documentation for Professional Fees & Employee Benefit
Details.
This limitation restricted our ability to verify the accuracy and completeness of
expenses related to professional fees & Employee Benefit Exp. In the absence of the
same, we are unable to comment on the financial position and result of operations.
The company has not recorded expenses for electricity, warehouse rent, and
employee provident fund contributions. The omission of expenses will result in an
understatement of expenses and an overstatement of net income for the period. In
the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the financial position and
result of operations.
As per the financial statement, the total trade receivable outstanding amounts
to Rs.
1,83,80,138,41/- and trade payable amounts to Rs. 15,92,102.40/- as on March 31,
2024. We are unable to obtain independent balance confirmations and perform any
alternate procedures. We are unable to comment if any adjustments to the carrying
value of trade receivable and trade payable is required if any.
As per the financial statement, the total Loan given amounting to Rs
5,08,28,307.00
and loan taken amounting to Rs 24,33,609 as on March 31, 2024. We are unable to
obtain independent balance confirmations and perform any alternate procedures. In
the absence of the same, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of Loan
given.
Under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 certain
disclosures are to be made relating to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. The
company has sought relevant information from its suppliers / providers of services
under the Act, and since the relevant information has not been shared with us, we
are unable to comment on the impact if any applicable.
The amount represented under the head (Cash in hand), we have not been provided
by the management with any appropriate information, explanation and justification
for such a cash balance as well as transactions carried out by the company in cash.
On account of this and in the absence of documentation we are unable to verify and
form an opinion on such cash and cash transactions carried out by the company.
Secretarial Compliances have not been done by the company since last two
financial
year. Also presently there is no compliance officer in the company who can be held
responsible for this. Due to this we are unable to comment on the penal / legal
consequences on the financial position and result on operations.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs")
specified
under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our
responsibilities under
those SAs are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Results 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 statement under the
provisions of the Act, and the Rules there under, 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 qualified opinion on the statement.
Emphasis of Matters
The companys continued existence is severely threatened. Since October 2023, it has
operated without any employees, has liquidated its entire inventory at a loss, No steps
have
been taken by the company to lift the trading suspension imposed by the Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE) and has completely neglected its secretarial obligations. These critical
factors cast serious doubt on the companys ability to remain in business. These
conditions
indicate uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the companys ability to continue
as
going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters
Information other than the financial statements and auditors report thereon
The Companys board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other
information.
The other information comprises the information included in the Boards Report including
Annexures to Boards Report, Business Responsibility 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 standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the
course of our 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 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 financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive
income,
cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including 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 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 statement 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
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 Responsibility for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial results,
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 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 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 but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of
accounting estimates and related disclosures in the financial results 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 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 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. 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 financial
results,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial results represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial results that,
individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable
user of the financial results may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and
qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the
results of
our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial
results.
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.

Annexure -B to the Auditors Report
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 MUZALI ARTS
LIMITED ("hereinafter referred to as "the Company") as of 31 March 2024 in
conjunction
with our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended on that date.
Management and Board of Directors Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The management and Board of Directors of the Company are 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
(ICAI). 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 with
reference to consolidated financial statements based on our audit conducted 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.
Because of the matter described in the Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph below, we were
not
able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on
internal financial controls system with reference to these consolidated financial
statements.
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 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 unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Disclaimer of Opinion
Due to the possible effects of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of
Opinion
paragraph in our main audit report, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
evidence to provide a basis for our opinion on whether the Company had adequate internal
financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31, 2024 and whether such internal
financial controls were operating effectively. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion
on
Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting.
