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 for the financial year ended March
31, 2024. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit
addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We
have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated
in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report,
including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying financial statements.
Key
audit matters |
How
our audit addressed the key audit matter |
(a)
Revenue recognition (as
described in Note 2.2(e) and 15 of the financial statements) |
|
For
the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has recognized revenue from operations of INR
50,337.09 lakhs which primarily pertains to trading of goods, warehousing and
transportation services rendered by the Company. |
Our
audit procedures, among others included the following: |
Revenue
is recognized based on the terms of the agreement and tariff/rates agreed with the
customers for delivery of services where the recovery of consideration is probable. |
We assessed the Companys revenue recognition policy and its compliance in terms of Ind AS
115 Revenue from contracts with customers. |
The
tariff/rates applied by the Company is the rate agreed with its customers or as estimated
by management based on the latest terms of the agreement or latest negotiations with
customers and other industry considerations. Due to the large variety and complexity of
contractual terms, as well as ongoing negotiations with customers, significant judgements
are required to estimate the tariff/ rates applied. If the actual rate differs from the
estimated rate applied, this will have an impact on the accuracy of revenue recognised in
the current year and accrued as at year end. |
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness
of key controls related to revenue recognition. |
Revenue
is also an important element of how the Company measures its performance, upon which the
management is incentivized. The Company focuses on revenue as a key performance measure,
which could create an incentive for revenue to be recognized before meeting the
requirement of revenue recognition under Ind AS 115. Accordingly, due to significant risk
associated with revenue recognition, it was determined to be a key audit matter in our
audit of the financial statements. |
We selected and tested samples of individual revenue transaction and traced the same to
underlying invoices, customer agreements and other related documents to assess that the
revenue has been recognized as per the tariff/rates agreed or as per latest correspondence
with the customers. |
We also tested samples of revenue transactions made near to the year end and compared the
period and tariff rates for revenue recognition to supporting documentation to ensure that
sales and corresponding trade receivables are properly recorded. |
|
We verified the bank advices and credit notes on a sample basis for the net settlement and
reviewed aged items for any disputed amounts. |
|
We tested underlying documentation for journal entries which were considered to be
material related to revenue recognition. |
Key
audit matters |
How
our audit addressed the key audit matter |
Deferred tax assets with respect to tax loss carry
forwards (as described in Note 7 of the
financial statements) |
|
At
March 31, 2024, deferred tax assets recognized in the Companys financial statements is
INR 2,854.06 lakhs. |
Our
audit procedures, among others included the following: |
Deferred
tax assets are recognized on carried forward tax losses when it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the tax losses can be utilized. The Companys
ability to recognize deferred tax assets on carried forward tax losses is assessed by the
management at the end of each reporting period, taking into account forecasts of future
taxable profits and the law and jurisdiction of the taxable items and assumptions. |
We obtained an understanding of the deferred tax assessment process, evaluated the design
and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls in respect of process of
recognizing deferred tax on carried forward tax losses. |
Given
the degree of estimation based on the projection of future taxable profits, recognition of
deferred tax assets on tax losses was identified to be a key audit matter. |
We assessed the compliance of the methodology applied by the Company with applicable
accounting standards. |
We discussed and evaluated managements assumptions and estimates like projected revenue
growth, etc. in relation to the probability of generating future taxable income to support
the recognition of deferred income tax asset with reference to forecast taxable income and
performed sensitivity analysis. |
|
We verified the consistency of business plan with the latest management estimates as
calculated during the budget process and the reliability of the process by which the
estimates were calculated and assessed reasons for differences between projected and
actual performances. |
|
We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the deferred tax model prepared by the management. |
|
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements regarding the
recognition of deferred tax assets based on unused tax losses in accordance with the
requirements of Ind AS 12 "Income Taxes". |
Information
Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors Report Thereon
The
Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Annual report is expected
to made available to us after the date of this auditors report.
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 such other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibilities
of Management for the Financial Statements
The
Companys 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 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 Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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 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.
Those
Board of Directors are 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:
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.
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.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
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.
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.
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 for the financial
year ended March 31, 2024 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.

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 ("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 the 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 these financial statements 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, as specified
under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal
financial controls, both issued by ICAI. 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 with reference to
these financial statements 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 with reference to these financial statements and their
operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls
with reference to these 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
judgement, 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 Companys internal financial controls with reference
to these financial statements.
Meaning
of Internal Financial Controls with reference to these Financial Statements
A
companys internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 controls with
reference to 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 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.
Inherent
Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
Because
of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to 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
financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial
control with reference to financial statements 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, adequate internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements 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
issued by the ICAI.
