Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PALCO Limited
(Formerly known as Pennar Aluminium Company Limited) ("the
Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, and
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.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these 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 Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General
Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013
. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that givea true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the
Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
