We have audited the financial statements of Deccan Bearings Limited (“the Company”),
st
which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the statement of Profit and Loss,
(including other comprehensive income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash
flows for the year then 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
us, 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 Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,
2024, and loss(including other comprehensive income),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 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 Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's 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 that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of financial statements of the current year. 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.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Theron
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor's 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.
Responsibilities of Management for the 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 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 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.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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 of 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. 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 with reference to
financial statements 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 auditors' 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.
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 of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditors' 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.
