Sr. Key Audit Matter No |
Auditors Response |
1 Investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate and loans/ advances to subsidiaries and joint ventures |
Besides obtaining an understanding of Managements processes and controls with regard to testing the impairment of the unquoted equity instruments in loss making subsidiaries and associates. Our procedures included the following: |
| The Companys investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and an associate are recorded on the financial statements at their original cost, taking into account any impairment resulting in diminution in value. The Company evaluates these investments for impairment regularly, usually at each reporting date. | Assessing the net worth of subsidiaries and joint ventures on the basis of latest available financial statements. |
| To assess impairment, the Company relies on estimates and judgments. This process involves identifying events or indicators that could lead to a decline in the value of the investments and then determining the appropriate impairment charge if necessary. Making these assessments requires significant judgment on the part of the Company, especially when projecting future cash flows related to real estate projects within these entities. | For the investments where the carrying amount exceeded the net asset value, understanding from the Company regarding the basis and assumptions used for the projected profitability. |
| The impairment review of such investments, with an opening carrying value of Rs.979.98 lakhs, is considered to be a risk area due to the size of the balances as well as the judgmental nature of key assumptions, which may be subject to management override. The carrying value of such unquoted equity instruments and debt is at risk of recoverability. The net worth of some of the underlying entities has significantly eroded and does not have projects under development. The estimated recoverable amount is subjective due to the inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows. | In responding to the identified key audit matter, we completed the following audit procedures: Compared the Companys assumptions with comparable benchmarks in relation to key inputs such as long-term growth rates and discount rates; |
| The Company has provided loans and financial instruments to its joint ventures and subsidiaries, and it evaluates the recoverability of these loans regularly at the end of each reporting period. Due to the specific nature of the real estate industry, the Company faces higher risks regarding the possibility of recovering the amounts owed by these parties. Additionally, significant judgment is required to assess the likelihood of recovering both the working capital and project-specific loans and financial instruments. This judgment is influenced by the completion of property development projects within the agreed-upon timeframes. | Considered historical forecasting accuracy, by comparing previously forecasted cash flows to actual results achieved; and |
| Given the importance of accurately assessing the recoverability of loans and financial instruments to subsidiaries and joint ventures and the significant judgment and estimation involved in this process, the measurement of these loans/financial instruments is considered a critical audit matter. During the audit, special attention is given to ensuring that the Companys judgments and estimates are appropriate and well- supported. | Analysing the possible indications of impairment and understanding Companys assessment of those indications. |
| Tracing loans/financial instruments advanced /repaid during the year to bank statement. | |
| Obtaining independent confirmations to assess completeness and existence of loans/financial instruments given to subsidiaries and joint ventures as on 31 March 2025. | |
| Considering the adequacy of disclosures in respect of the investments and loans and advances in subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associate. | |
2 Revenue recognition - accounting for construction contracts |
In responding to the identified key audit matter, we completed the following audit procedures: |
| There are Material accounting judgements including estimation of costs to complete, determining the stage of completion and the timing of revenue recognition. The Company recognises revenue and profit/loss on the basis of stage of completion based on the proportion of contract costs incurred at balance sheet date, relative to the total estimated costs of the contract at completion. The recognition of revenue and profit/loss therefore rely on estimates in relation to total estimated costs of each contract. Cost contingencies are included in these estimates to take into account specific uncertain risks, or disputed claims against the Company, arising within each contract. These contingencies are reviewed by the Management on a regular basis throughout the contract life and adjusted where appropriate. | In responding to the identified key audit matter, we completed the following audit procedures: |
| Testing of the design and implementation of controls involved for the determination of the estimates used as well as their operating effectiveness; | |
| Testing the relevant information technology systems access and change management controls relating to contracts and related information used in recording and disclosing revenue in accordance with the new revenue accounting standard; | |
| Testing a sample of contracts for appropriate identification of performance obligations; | |
| For the sample selected, reviewing for change orders and the impact on the estimated costs to complete; | |
| Performed analytical procedures for reasonableness of revenues disclosed by type and service offerings |
Other Information
-The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis; Boards Report including Annexures to Board Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The aforesaid documents are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.
- Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.
-In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
-When we read the aforesaid documents, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Managements Responsibility for the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows 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 theaccuracy 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 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 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 matters or when 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.
-Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements 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 statements.

ANNEXURE- B: TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Members of VIPUL LIMITED
[Referred to in paragraph 19 (g) of the Independent Auditors Report of even date]
Report on the Internal Financial Control under Clause (i) of Sub sections 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
-We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of VIPUL LIMITED ("the Company") as of 31st March, 2025 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 Control
-The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial control 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 (the "Guidance Note") 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 over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the "Guidance Note" and the Standard on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable. 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 includes obtaining an understanding of internal financial control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material Weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls based on the assessed risk. The procedure selected depends on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statement, 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 Control 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
-Pertain to the maintenance of the records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
-provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditure of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of company; and
-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.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Control over Financial Reporting
-Because of inherent limitation of internal financial control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluations of the internal financial control 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.
Qualified Opinion
-According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weaknesses have been identified as on March 31, 2025:
i. The Company has taken as well as granted several secured and unsecured loans and advances during the year. The agreements/ documentation in respect of such loans and advances are in the process of being signed. In the absence of such signed agreements, interest payable and receivable, as applicable, has been computed on the basis of the details provided by the Management where available. The impact, if any, will be recognized after the completion of such documentation.
-A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Clubs annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
-In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company had established informal practices which are generally effective in having a proper internal control over financial reporting and except for the effects/possible effects of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Companys internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as of March 31, 2025.
-We have considered the material weakness identified and reported above in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 31st March, 2025 standalone financial statements of the Company, and the material weakness has affected our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company and we have issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial statements.
