We have audited the financial statements of M/s SIHORA INDUSTRIES
PRIVATE LIMITED, ("the Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as
at 31 March 2024, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the period ended and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to me, the aforesaid financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") 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, and profit for the period ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
SAs are further described in the Auditor''s 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 ("ICAI") 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 opinion.
The Company''s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Director''s 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.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in
section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the
preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of
the financial position, financial performance, (changes in equity) 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 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 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 Company''s
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 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 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
judgement 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, but
not for the purpose 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.
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 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.
