Key audit matter |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|
Provisions and contingent liabilities relating to litigations (Refer note 20 and note 35 to the accompanying standalone financial statements) As detailed in note 20 and note 35 to the standalone financial statements, the Company is exposed to a large number of litigations including matters pertaining to income tax and prior years'' matters pertaining to excise, customs, sales tax, value added tax, service tax, etc., which could have a significant impact on the financial position of the Company, if the potential exposures were to materialize. Provision for such litigations amounts to ^38.30 crores as at 31 March 2022 based on its estimate of the likelihood of such liability devolving upon the Company. The amounts involved are material and the application of accounting principles as given under Ind AS 37, ''Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'', in order to determine the amount to be recognised as a liability or to be disclosed as a contingent liability, in each case, is inherently subjective, and needs careful evaluation and judgement to be applied by the management. The key judgements involved are with respect to the potential exposure of each litigation and the likelihood and/or timing of cash outflows from the Company, and requires interpretation of laws and past legal rulings. Considering the significant judgments, materiality of the amounts involved, inherent high estimation uncertainty and reliance on legal and tax experts, this matter has been identified as a key audit matter for the current year audit. |
Our audit procedures in relation to the assessment of litigations and provisions included, but were not limited to, the following: ⢠Obtained an understanding of the management process for: - identification of legal and tax matters initiated against the Company, - assessment of accounting treatment for each such litigation identified under Ind AS 37 accounting principles, and - measurement of amounts involved ⢠Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around above process including for completeness and accuracy of the list of litigations outstanding against the Company. ⢠Obtained understanding of the developments during the year in each existing litigation, and understanding of the new litigations initiated against the Company during the year by inquiry with the management, inspection of case related documents such as notices, orders, etc. and correspondence of the Company with their external counsels handling such matters on behalf of the Company. ⢠Conducted a critical review of the assessment done by the management with the help of its legal and tax experts for the likelihood and potential impact of each litigation, examining the available supporting documents. Tested the independence, objectivity and competence of such experts involved. ⢠Exercised our professional judgment to assess the management''s assessment of the potential likelihood of liability devolving upon the Company with respect to each legal case. ⢠Involved auditor''s experts to assess the Company''s interpretation and application of relevant tax laws to evaluate the appropriateness of key assumptions used and the reasonableness of estimates made in relation to uncertain tax positions, taking into account past precedents. ⢠Reviewed significant movements in provision with supporting documents. ⢠Tested the underlying calculations of amount of liability recognized and contingent liability disclosed in the standalone financial statements. |
|
Evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of disclosures made in the standalone financial statements with respect to provisions and contingent liability in accordance with applicable accounting standards. |
Information other than the Financial Statements andAuditor''s Report thereon
6. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged withGovernance for the Standalone Financial Statements
7. The accompanying standalone financial statements have been approved by the Company''s Board of Directors. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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.
8. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
9. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements
10. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act 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 system 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 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;
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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 auditor''s 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT
To the Members of
Indo Rama Synthetics (India) Limited
1. Report on the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Indo Rama Synthetics (India) Limited (âthe Companyâ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
2. 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 (âthe Actâ) with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed 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 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 Ind AS 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 goingconcern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
3. Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Companyâs preparation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companyâs Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Ind AS financial statements.
We are also responsible to conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 entityâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor''s report. However, future events or conditions may cause an entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Ind AS financial statements.
4. Basis for Qualified Opinion
(i) Attention is drawn to note 41(a) of the Ind AS financial statements relating to Deferred Tax Assets amounting to Rs, 95.90 crores as at 31 March 2018 recognized by the Company on the basis of future outlook of business confirming that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these assets will be realized. In view of losses suffered in the current as well as preceding periods, and other unused tax losses available to the Company, we are not in agreement with the deferred tax assets recognized. Had such asset not been recognized, the net loss after tax for the year ended 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 would have been higher by Rs, 41.82 crores and Rs, 54.08 crores respectively, and other equity as at 31 March 2018 and 31 March
2017 would have been lower by Rs, 95.90 crores and Rs, 54.08 crores respectively. The matter was subject to qualification in the previous period as well.
(ii) Attention is drawn to note 39(b) of the Ind AS financial statements, which enumerates recognition of interest of Rs, 16.79 crores in the books by the Company on the insurance claim recoverable from its insurance company for the loss of certain assets and loss suffered due to business interruption at its plant in 2007-08. The said recognition of asset being contingent in nature, is not in accordance with accounting principle stated in Ind AS 37, âProvisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets''. Had such asset not been recognized, the net loss before and after tax for the year ended 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 would have been higher by Rs, 2.92 crores and Rs, 2.92 crores respectively, and other equity as at 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 would have been lower by Rs, 16.79 crores and Rs, 13.87 crores respectively. The matter was subject to qualification in the previous periods as well.
5. Qualified Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for
the matter described in the âBasis for Qualified Opinion'' paragraph above, the aforesaid Ind AS 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 including Ind AS, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2018, its loss, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
6. Going Concern
We draw attention to note 41 of the Ind AS financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred a net loss before tax of Rs, 124.86 crores during the year ended 31 March 2018 and, as of that date, the Company''s current liabilities exceeded its current assets. Based on, and as fully explained by the management in note 41 of the Ind AS financial statements on the initiatives taken, we believe the Company shall be able to continue as a going concern.
7. Emphasis of matter
We draw an attention to note 39(a) of the Ind AS financial statements which describes the uncertainty related to the outcome of the lawsuit filed by the Company against an insurance company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
8. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ)
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Indo Rama Synthetics (India) Limited (âthe Companyâ) as of 31 March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on âAudit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reportingâ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (âICAIâ). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on âAudit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reportingâ (the âGuidance Noteâ) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgments, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls
with reference to Financial Statements
A companyâs internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, based on the internal control over financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

3. Auditorsâ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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 the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, 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 financial control relevant to the Company''s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company''s Directors, 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 qualified audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

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 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.
3. Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the
provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and
matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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 the disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, 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 financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, 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 on the standalone
financial statements.

explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements

and included in exceptional items as an adjustment on the said
