We have audited the accompanying financial statements of LEAD FINANCIAL SERVICES
LIMITED (the âCompanyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2024, the Statement
of Profit and Loss, including the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Cash
Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial

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 (the âActâ)
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 31 March 2024, its profit
including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity 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 Auditorâs
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 (âICAIâ) 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 audit opinion on the financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the 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 that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Directorâs Report and Management Discussion & Analysis,
but does not include the financial statements and our auditorâs 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 communicate the matter to those charged with
governance and describe necessary actions required as per applicable laws and regulations.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 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.
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 is 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 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 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 Standards on Auditing 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 Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
i. 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.
ii. 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 system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
iii. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
iv. 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 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.
v. 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 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 for the financial year ended 31
March 2024 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.
