We have audited the standalone financial statements of DJS Stock and Shares Limited ("the
Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2024, and the statement of
Profit and Loss, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
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, its loss, 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 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities 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 Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone
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 Indian 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 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 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 standalone 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 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 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 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.
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
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.
