Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent

The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, for example Management Discussion and Analysis,
Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and
Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The
Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this our auditorâs report. 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
identified above 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 Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charges with governance and take necessary actions as applicable under the relevant
laws and regulations.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 Directorâs are responsible for assessing
the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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.
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 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 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 system (with reference to standalone
financial statement) 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 Management and Board of Director 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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.
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 Standalone 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
Standalone Financial Statements.
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 matter communicated with those charge with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in audit of standalone financial statement of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditorâs report unless law and regulation preclude public disclosure about the matters or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that the matters 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.

Key Audit Matters |
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter |
|
01 |
Revenue Recognition (refer to the summary of material accounting policies in point 2.02 (b) and the disclosures in note 2.24 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
|
The Company derives significant portion of its revenue from long-term projects. Estimation of efforts is a critical estimate to determine revenues for contract. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty as it requires consideration of progress of the contract, efforts incurred till date, efforts required to complete the remaining contract performance obligations. Some of the contracts have complex terms and conditions requiring management analysis, judgement and application of guidance for appropriate recognition of revenue and the corresponding balances of accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and deferred revenues. In consideration of certain key judgements and principles used for recognition of revenue we have identified this matter to be a key audit matter. |
We have performed walkthrough and understood the process and tested key controls associated with the revenue recognition process. We made enquiries of management and analysed contracts on sample basis to evaluate whether revenue was recognized in accordance with their terms and conditions. 1. Assessed the Companyâs accounting policies relating to revenue recognition. 2. Checked the revenue recognition from contracts by reading the supporting documents including inspection of contracts / statement of work/purchase orders from customers and documents evidencing delivery, on a test check basis; 3. Checked, pre and post year end, sample of revenue recognized and agreed with the supporting documents; 4. Checked the Standalone Ind AS financial statement disclosures in this regard. |

02 |
Receivable from Government customers (refer to disclosures in note 2.05 & 2.10 of the standalone financial statements) |
|
|
The Gross balance of trade receivables as at March 31, 2024 amounted to INR 4,568.23/- Lakhs, which comprises of receivable from Government INR 4477.57/-lakhs. The assessment of the recoverability of the receivables from the Government Customers, requires management to make judgements and estimates to assess the certainty regarding the recoverability from Government Customer. Accordingly, this has been identified as a Key audit Matter. |
We evaluated the companyâs processes and controls relating to the monitoring of trade receivables and review of credit risks of customers. Our audit procedures include: 1. We evaluated managementâs continuous assessment of the assumption used in the recoverability assessment. These considerations include whether there are regular receipts from the customers, past collection history as well as an assessment of the customersâ credit ability to make repayments; 2. We have checked the subsequent collection made from the Government debtors and discussed with management the reasons of any long outstanding amounts and correspondences with the customers; 3. We have checked the calculation of delay risk under expected credit loss model. 4. Evaluated the standalone financial statement disclosure in this regard. |

ANNEXURE -"B" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'' REPORT

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ABM KNOWLEDGEWARE LIMITED (â the Companyâ) as of 31 March, 2018, in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s 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 company''s 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 Company''s 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 â Guidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, 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 auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company''s 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 company''s 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 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 company''s assets that could have a material effect on the 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, 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, 2018, 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.
