Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Information Technology (IT) System & Control Impacting Financial Reporting The Company operates an accounting and enterprise software system across its head office and branch locations, which is integral to its financial reporting processes. The IT environment is moderately complex and supports the processing and recording of financial transactions at multiple locations. The integrity and reliability of financial reporting are highly dependent on such IT systems and the associated control environment, which includes: ⢠IT general controls over user access, change management, application, network, database, and operating systems ⢠Automated application controls, including system calculations and workflows Due to the importance of IT systems and controls to financial reporting and in light of a cybersecurity incident that occurred after the Balance Sheet Date, we identified testing of these IT systems and controls as a key audit matter for the current year audit. |
In assessing the integrity of the IT systems and controls, we involved our IT specialists to: ⢠Understand the IT infrastructure and systems relevant to the Companyâs financial reporting ⢠Evaluate and test the design and operating effectiveness of IT general controls and key automated controls ⢠Assess controls over user access management, including periodic review and removal of access rights ⢠Test segregation of duties and preventive controls to ensure access to change applications in the production environment is restricted to authorized personnel ⢠Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of key automated controls within relevant business processes, including accuracy of system interfaces and data processing. Our procedures also considered any remediation measures undertaken by the Company in response to the cybersecurity event, and whether these actions mitigated potential risks to financial reporting.(refer Note 62) Based on the above procedures and the additional controls implemented post-incident, we did not identify material weaknesses that would affect the integrity of financial reporting. |
|
Allowances for credit losses The Company determines the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables based on historical loss experience, adjusted for current and forward-looking economic conditions. This involves significant judgment, including: - Estimating the probability of default - Evaluating macroeconomic conditions and industry-specific risks - Assessing customer-specific credit information Given the use of complex assumptions and significant estimation uncertainty, we considered this a key audit matter. |
Our audit procedures included: - Testing the design and effectiveness of controls over the estimation methodology, data accuracy, and assumptions - Verifying the completeness and accuracy of trade receivable ageing data used in the model - Re-computing the expected credit loss based on the inputs provided by the Company - Evaluating the reasonableness of assumptions in the context of current economic conditions - Assessing the consistency of the methodology with applicable accounting standards We found that the assumptions used by the Company were reasonable and the methodology was consistently applied. |
|
Provisions & Contingent Liabilities The Company is involved in various legal, regulatory, and tax-related matters that require management to assess the likelihood of outflows and estimate potential liabilities. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a provision should be recognized or disclosed as a contingent liability, and to estimate the amount of such obligations, in accordance with Ind AS 37. Given the inherent uncertainties and materiality of these estimates, we identified provisions and contingent liabilities as a key audit matter. |
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to: - Identification, evaluation, and monitoring of legal and regulatory matters - Estimation processes used by management We discussed significant litigations and claims with management and internal legal counsel. We also: - Reviewed external legal opinions, where available - Assessed the adequacy of provisions recorded |
|
- Evaluated the appropriateness and completeness of related disclosures in Note 35 to the financial statements Based on our procedures, we found the provisions and contingent liability disclosures to be appropriate. |
|
|
Related Party Transactions The Company enters into transactions with related parties in the ordinary course of business. These transactions are subject to regulatory approvals under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. Due to the risk of non-disclosure, potential non-compliance, and significance of such transactions to the financial statements, we identified related party transactions as a key audit matter. |
Our procedures included: - Evaluating the design and effectiveness of controls over identification, authorization, and disclosure of related party transactions - Reading Board and Audit Committee minutes to assess whether all transactions were appropriately reviewed and approved - Verifying compliance with Sections 177 and 188 of the Companies Act, 2013 - Reviewing disclosures in the financial statements for completeness and accuracy Based on our procedures, we found that related party transactions were appropriately identified, approved, and disclosed in accordance with applicable requirements. |
IV. Information other than the financial statements and Auditor''s Report thereon
The Company''s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company''s annual 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 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.
V. Responsibilities of Management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
The Company''s management and 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, changes in equity and cash flows 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 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 and 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 Board of Directors and management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
VI. 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:
a. 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.
b. 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 over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
d. Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s 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 auditors'' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
e. 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.
f. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements 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 misstatements 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.
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 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.
