We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Aqua Logistics
Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance sheet as at 31st
March 2013, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
2. Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The 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. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control 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.
3. 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 judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatements 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.
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
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
