Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements for the year ended March 31,2025. 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.
For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have
fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures
designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our
audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Provisions and Contingent Liabilities relating to Taxations,
litigations and claims: (Refer note 34)

The company operates in various states within India, exposing
it to a variety of different Central and State Laws, regulations
and interpretations thereof. In this regulatory environment, there
is an inherent risk of litigation and claims.

Provisions are required when the company has present
obligations (legal or constructive) as a result of past event for
which it is probable that a cash outflow will be required and
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of that obligation.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following:

• Assessed the appropriateness of the Company’s
accounting policies relating to provisions and contingent
liabilities, in accordance with the applicable accounting
standards;

• Obtained an understanding of the process, and evaluated
the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the
key internal controls around the recording and
assessment of provisions and contingent liabilities.

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Contingent liability disclosure is made where there is a possible
obligation or present obligation that probably may not require
outflow of resources. When there is a possible or present
obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,
no provision or disclosure is made.

The level of judgment of the management in determining the
need for quantum of provision or disclosure of contingent liability
is high.

This judgment is dependent upon significant assumptions and
assessment which involves interpretations of various Laws,
jurisprudence for which management involves the experts on
the subject matter.

In view of the uncertainty of the outcome, significance of
amounts involved and the subjectivity involved in management’
s judgments, the matter has been considered as a Key Audit
Matter for the Audit of the current year.

Consequently, provisions and contingent liability disclosures
may arise from direct and indirect tax proceeding, legal
proceedings including regulatory and other government/
department proceedings, as well as investigations by authorities
and commercial claims.

The judgment and estimates of the Company could change
substantially overtime as new facts emerge as each legal case
progresses.

Given the inherent complexity and magnitude of potential
exposures and the judgment necessary to estimate the amount
of provisions required or to determine required disclosures, this
is a key audit matter.

• On a sample basis, performed substantive procedures
on the underlying calculations supporting the amount
involved recorded as provisions or disclosed as contingent
liability; and

• Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of related
disclosures in the standalone financial statements in
accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Reviewing the outstanding litigations against the Company
for consistency with the previous years, enquire and obtain
explanations for movement during the year.

Discussing the status of significant known actual and potential
litigations with the Company’s in-house officials and other
senior management personnel who have knowledge of these
matters and assessing their responses.

Examining the Company’s legal expenses and perusing the
minutes of the board meetings, in order to ensure that all cases
have been identified.

Assessing the decisions and rationale for provisions held or
for decisions not to record provisions or make disclosures.

For those matters where management concluded that no
provisions should be recorded, considered the adequacy and
completeness of the Company’s disclosures.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report through Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures
thereto, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual report. is expected to be made available to us after the date of
this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to those charged with governance and describe actions applicable under the applicable laws and regulations.

Management’s and Board of Directors Responsibility for the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit and
total 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 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 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 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 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 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
standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism 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 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 the Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of 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 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 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 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 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 standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31,2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements 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 Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

We have relied upon the Company’s view.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31,2024. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

The Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The company operates in various states within India, exposing it to a variety of different Central and State Laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. In this regulatory environment, there is an inherent risk of litigation and claims.

Consequently, provisions and contingent liability disclosures may arise from direct and indirect tax proceeding, legal proceedings including regulatory and other government/ department proceedings, as well as investigations by authorities and commercial claims.

Our procedures included:

Understanding the process followed by the Company for assessment and determination of the amount of provisions and contingent liabilities relating to taxation, litigations and Claims.

Evaluating the design and implementation and testing operating effectiveness of key internal controls around the recognition and measurement of provisions and re-assessment of contingent liabilities

Reviewing the outstanding litigations against the Company for consistency with the previous years, enquire and obtain explanations for movement during the year.

Discussing the status of significant known actual and potential litigations with the Company’s in-house officials and other senior management personnel who have knowledge of these matters and assessing their responses.

Sales Tax case pending with Rajasthan Tax Board

At March 31,2024, the Company’s contingent liabilities for legal matters were Rs. 78 Lakhs (refer Note 35 to the standalone financial statement) and provision for legal matters aggregated Nil. This represents tax of Rs.71 Lakhs levied u/s 47 of Rajasthan Sales Tax Act. 1994. The tax has been levied on account of non-deposit of sale tax by the consignment agent of the company. Department is of the view that liability of principal and agent is joint and several. The remaining Rs 7 Lakhs represent the claim against the company that have not been acknowledged as debt.

Perusing the latest correspondence between the Company and the various tax/legal authorities being the order passed by Appellate Authority-1 Jaipur, CTO Dated 22.12.2021 against which the company has filed a petition before the Rajasthan Tax Board Ajmer and review of correspondence with / legal opinions obtained by the management, from external legal advisors, wherever applicable, for significant matters and considering the same in evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s provisions or disclosures on such matters.

Examining the Company’s legal expenses and perusing the minutes of the board meetings, in order to ensure that all cases have been identified.

Assessing the decisions and rationale for provisions held or for decisions not to record provisions or make disclosures.

For those matters where management concluded that no provisions should be recorded, considered the adequacy and completeness of the Company’s disclosures.

GST Receivable

The Goods and Services Department had visited the premises of the company on 24.08.2020 to verify the transactions of the company with certain dealers who had supplied the raw materials to the company. The case was subsequently transferred to CGST Commissionerate at Meerut and CGST Commissionerate at Ludhiana. The CGST Commissionerate at Meerut issued a Show-Cause Notice amounting to Rs. 25.51 crores for transactions in Moradabad Plant. During proceedings at Meerut the Additional Commissioner CGST was pleased to reduce the demand from Rs.25.51 crores to Rs.12.91 crores with an equivalent amount of penalty against which the company had filed an appeal before Commissioner CGST Appeals. The entire demand along with penalty has been set aside by the Commissioner CGST Appeals vide order dated 07.06.2024. CGST Commissionerate at Ludhiana has issued Show Cause Notice for Rs. 74.04 crores for transactions in Patiala Plant and CGST Commissionerate at Delhi issued Show cause notice of Rs.0.41 Cr and Jaipur CGST Commissionerate issued SCN of Rs.0.02 Cr. The Company is confident that the Show Cause Notices at Ludhiana, Delhi and Jaipur will also be vacated as the case is in parity with Meerut.

We have verified the show cause notices received by the company in respect of the Moradabad range and Patiala Range, the order passed by Additional Commissionerate (CGST) Meerut dtd 13.03.2024 in case of Moradabad range creating the demand of 1291 Lakhs with an equivalent amount of penalty under Section 74(1) r.w Section 122(i)(vii) of CGST Act, 2017, the appeal filed by the company against the same and the appellate order passed dtd 07.06.2024 by CGST (Appeals) Meerut set aside the above demand and penalty amount. In respect of the Show Cause Notice of Rs. 7404 Lakhs received by the company from CGST Commissionerate Ludhiana for Patiala range, we have verified the detailed reply filed by the company. We have relied upon the assertions of the management.

The judgment and estimates of the Company could change substantially overtime as new facts emerge as each legal case progresses.

Given the inherent complexity and magnitude of potential exposures and the judgment necessary to estimate the amount of provisions required or to determine required disclosures, this is a key audit matter.

• 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 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 the Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of 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 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 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 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 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 standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31,2024 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

Annexure - B to the Auditors’ Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Milkfood Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone 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 “Guidance Note”) 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 ifsuch 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 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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, 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 31 March 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Milkfood Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone 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 “Guidance Note”) 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 auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised 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, 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 31 March 2016, 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.
