LIMITED (the “company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the
Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and 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 us,
the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by 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 March 31, 2024, and
profit/loss, (changes in equity) and its cash flows 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 Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards 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 Co de of Ethics
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and the Rules there under, 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.
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.
We want to express our opinion that going concern of the company has adversely effected after
written off several balances of various advances in last year. Company's capital has declined
significantly in last years. (Refer notes to accounts point No 8)
Emphasis of Matter
As per the management the company is still a going concern entity because it is in process of
identifying new plans to start the business of the company. But in our view there is no certainty
on the company's going concern. Although the company has prepared its financial statements
on a going concern basis.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditors' Report thereon.
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information.
The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual 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 on the other information obtained prior to the date of
this auditor's report, 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 .
Management's Responsibility for the (Ind AS) Financial Statements
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 and presentation of these Ind AS
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, read with
Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 ac counting 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 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. Those Board of
Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process
Auditors' Responsibility
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 o f 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
> 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
elationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
