Responsibility of Management and Those Charged With Governance 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 true and fair view of the financial position, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified in the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) 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, the Board of Directors 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 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has prescribed a new requirement for companies under the proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 inserted by the Companies (Accounts) Amendment Rules, 2021 requiring companies, which uses accounting software for maintaining its books of account, shall use only such accounting software which has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in the books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled.

The audit trail feature was not enabled at the database level for accounting software Tally Prime to log any direct data changes, used for maintenance of all accounting records by the Company.

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 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. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 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.

To elaborate, we comment on whether the company is using an accounting software which has a feature of recording audit trail and verify the following aspects:

• whether the audit trail feature is configurable (i.e., if it can be disabled or tampered with)?

• whether the audit trail feature was enabled/operated throughout the year?

• whether all transactions recorded in the software covered in the audit trail feature?

• Whether the audit trail has been preserved as per statutory requirements for record

retention?

Respectively out of which in respect of Trade receivable amounting to Rs. 48 Lakhs confirmations/statementhave not been received. Therefore,we were unable to comment on the recoverability of amount from whom confirmation is not received. Hence, we were unable to ascertain the financial impact on standalone financial statement .

2. The Company’s CurrentFinancial Liabilities as at 3kt March2023 includes Trade Payables, aggregating to Rs. B15 Lakhs (3kt March 2022 Rs. 75.88 Lakhs) respectively in respect of which confirmations/statementfrom the respective parties have not been received and which were outstanding for substantial period of tirFeurther, whilst, we have been able to perform alternate procedures with respect to certain balances, in the absence of confirmations/ statements from the respective parties, we are unable to comment upon the adjustments if any, that are required to the carrying value of aforesaid balances and consequential impact if any on the accompanying stan dalone financial results .

3. Trade receivable include amount of Rs. 5.96 Lakhs which were outstanding for substantial pe riod of time.

4. The Company loan & advances include amount of Rs. 25.52 Lakhs .which is outstanding for substantial period of time. The same is shown under the contingent assets of the notes of account in previous years. We are of the opinion that provision of same is required in the books of account but as per Managementassessment sno adjustments are required fcarrying value of aforesaid balances

since they are in discussion with party for the settlement of amount & there for management is of the opinion that no provision is required, therefore the Company has not made any provision for possible loss on such loansand advances,
