We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Amalgamated Electricity Company Limited
("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2024, the statement of profit and loss, and the
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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, as amended (the "Act") in the
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and its Loss 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 are further described in the Auditor''s 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 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 Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
on the financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31st March, 2024. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Except for matters described in the basis for opinion and material uncertanity relating to going concern paragraph
we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our audit report.
Material Uncertainity Related To Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(xi) in Notes to Financial Statements, which indicates that the Company has
accumulated losses and its net worth, has been fully eroded, the Company has incurred a net loss during the
current and previous years and, the Company''s current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at the balance
sheet date. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2(xi) indicate the existence of a material
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. However,
the financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis for the reasons stated in
the said Note.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter and those changed with governance.
The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company''s Board of Director''s Report but does not include the financial statements
and our auditor''s 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.
Responsibilities Of Management And Those Charged With Governance For The Financial Statements
The Company''s 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, 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 read with the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021. 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, the management and the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing
the Company''s 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 Board of Directors 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 company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s 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 auditor''s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the adequacy and
operating effectiveness of the company''s internal 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 the management and 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 Company''s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s
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 auditor''s 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.
⢠Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the 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 misstatement in the 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.
