RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Companyâs 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,
including other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including Ind AS 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 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,
Management and Board of Directors 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 Board of Directors
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is also responsible
for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting
process.
AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
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 it 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
controls.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal financial
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
Standalone 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 the Management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of
Managementâs 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, as well as significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal financial controls 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.
1. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, based

reporting of the Company and operating
effectiveness of such controls, refer to
our separate report in "Annexure B".

opinion on the adequacy and operating
effectiveness of the Companyâs internal

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Actâ) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind ASâ) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, the profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

Key Audit Matter (KAM) |
How the matter was addressed in our Audit? |

1. |
Revenue recognition - Fixed price (EPCC) development contracts The Company, inter alia, engages in Fixed-price (EPCC) development contracts, where, revenue is recognized using the milestone computed as per the input method based on management''s estimate of contract costs. We have identified revenue recognition of fixed price development contracts as a KAM considering there is an inherent risk around the accuracy of revenues given the customized and complex nature of these project development contracts. |
Our audit procedures on revenue recognized from fixed price contracts include obtaining an understanding of the systems, processes and controls implemented by management for recording and calculating revenue. We have tested that the revenue recognized is in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard by evaluating identification of performance obligations. We have also tested management''s estimation of contract cost and the obligations, if any. We have observed that the estimates of cost to complete were reviewed and approved by the appropriate levels of Management. |

2. |
Evaluation of procedure for recognizing the revenue from sale of power The Company has adopted the procedure for recognizing the revenue from sale of power as unbilled revenue at the initial stage on monthly basis and once the confirmation is received from the customer and the regulatory authority in respect of the actual units of electricity transmitted, the Company raises invoice to the client and the same is adjusted against the unbilled revenue booked earlier. |
We have obtained the actual invoice raised by the Company after receipt of the confirmation from the regulatory authority and the customers, certificate of share of electricity generated by the GETCO - State Load Dispatch Centre on monthly basis, calculations of Wheeling Loss on monthly basis issued by the Electricity Company to the client. We have matched the documents and correlate the same with the unbilled revenue booked on monthly basis. The unbilled revenue appearing as on March 31, 2024 would be offset only after the receipt of the above documentary |

3. Right of Way Expenses incurred during the course of the development of EPC contracts The Company has, inter alia, incurred considerable amount on Right of Way expenses during the course of the development of EPC contracts. These costs comprise of the compensation paid to various individuals on whose lands the transmission towers are to be erected and the stringing of transmission lines were carried out. The compensation was paid to the individuals for the loss of standing crops on the respective lands. |
Our audit procedures include the verification of payment details to various individuals, land records i.e 7/12 of the land to identify the actual owners or co-owners as the case may be along with the authorization trails of the management along with the control mechanism adopted by the management with its adequate implementation of the same. We have obtained the payment vouchers or the agreements entered into by the Company with these individuals directly or through any agent as the case may be. We have verified the payment vouchers and agreements on test check basis to identify the actual person to whom the compensation was paid by the Company and also verified the consent of other coowners where the compensation was paid to one of the co-owners. |
|
The Company has accounted for all the amounts which were paid as compensation to these individuals and charged the same to the revenue, however, in the case of the compensation paid in the month of March 2024, the payment vouchers with proper authorization have been produced before us and in such cases, the agreements were remained to be executed. Till the date of our audit report, the said agreements are yet to be executed. |

the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
standalone financial statements under the provisions of the
Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period.
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. We have determined
the matters described below to the Key Audit Matters to be
communicated in our report.
MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company''s 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, total 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 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,
management is 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 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 responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR''S 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 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 financial controls
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 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''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 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.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of K. P ENERGY LIMITED (âThe Companyâ) as of 31 March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs 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 (âICAIâ). 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 companyâs 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.
Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs 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 âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, 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 auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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 Companyâs internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A companyâs 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 companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (I) 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 companyâs 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, 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 3 I March 201 8, 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. However, we are of the opinion that the company can make the Internal Controls on Financial Reporting more adequate and more effective considering the inherent risk and nature and size of the business activities carried out by the company
