Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. 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.

5. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition

Refer Notes 1(II)(n), 34 and 60 to the standalone financial statements

Revenue from sale of goods (hereinafter referred to as "Revenue") is recognized when control of the products being sold is transferred to the customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations.

The timing of revenue recognition is relevant to the reported performance of the Company. The management considers revenue as a key measure for evaluation of performance. There is a risk of revenue being recorded before control is transferred.

Our audit procedures, related to revenue recognition, included, but were not limited, to the following:

• Assessed the appropriateness of the Company''s revenue recognition accounting policies in line with Ind AS 115 (''Revenue from contracts with customers") and testing thereof.

• Evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of Company''s controls (including the automated controls) around revenue recognition (including rebates / discounts).

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recoanition

Refer Notes 1(II)(n), 34 and 60 to the standalone financial statements

The Company has three reportable business segments:

i) Consumables ii) Equipment and automation; and iii) Flares and Process Equipment Division (FPED).

The timing of recognition of revenue in case of sale of consumables is when control over the same is transferred to the customer, which is mainly upon delivery. The performance obligations are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on customer terms i.e., performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.

The performance obligations in case of FPED, are satisfied over the time, whereas in case of equipment, performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.

• Tested the effectiveness of such controls over revenue cut off at year-end by selecting samples and verified the same with underlying documents, which included shipping documents, loading receipt, gate register. We carried out a combination of procedures involving inquiry and observation, reperformance and inspection of evidence in respect of operation of these controls.

• Inspected the samples of sales return and checked the appropriateness of sales return accounted in the books by verifying its approval from authorized person and goods inward note.

• Selected a sample of continuing and new contracts and performed the following procedures;

o Read, analyzed and identified the performance obligations in these contracts; o Compared these performance obligations with that identified and recorded by the Company; o Considered the terms of the contracts to determine the transaction price including any variable consideration to verify the transaction price used to compute revenue and to test the basis of estimation of the variable consideration; and

o Determined the allocation of transaction price to identified performance obligations in the contract.

• Scrutinized sales ledgers to verify completeness of sales transactions.

• We performed substantive testing by extracting samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year by verifying the underlying documents, which included shipping documents, lorry receipt, sales order, approved price list, proper recording in ledger of receivables etc.

• Performed analytical procedures on current year revenue based on overall revenue recognized, customer wise analysis, product wise analysis and where appropriate, conducting further enquiries and testing.

• Obtained balance confirmations for samples of customers selected and reviewed the reconciling items, if any;

• Tested the related disclosures made in standalone financial statements in accordance with Ind AS 115.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Indirect tax balances and litigations

Refer Notes 1(II)(t), 13 and 44 to the standalone financial statements

Indirect tax balances and litigations

As at 31 March 2022, the Company has balances with indirect tax authorities aggregating to Rs. 2,406 lakhs (PY Rs. 2,770 lakhs) net of provision Rs. 1,353 lakhs (PY 1,939 lakhs) and has contingent liabilities amounting Rs. 2,344 lakhs (PY Rs. 2,167 lakhs) pertaining to various indirect tax matters pending before appropriate authorities. Based on a detailed assessment done by the management of recoverability of aforesaid balances, the Company has provided for Rs. 222 lakhs (PY Rs. 831 lakhs) during the year against such balances.

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 eventual outcome of the said legal proceedings is dependent on the outcome of future events and unexpected adverse outcomes could significantly impact the Company''s reported profits and balance sheet position.

We considered this as Key audit matter due to the materiality of the amounts involved, inherent high estimation uncertainty and significant judgements as stated above.

• Obtained an understanding of the management process for identification of indirect tax matters that are under litigations or involve balances with the authorities that are doubtful of recovery, assessment of accounting treatment for each such litigation identified in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 37, and measurement of amounts involved in such litigations and assessments.

• Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls around above process.

• Obtained and read the Company''s accounting policies in respect of balances, provisions, and contingent liabilities to assess compliance with accounting standards.

• Obtained list of indirect tax balances, litigations and claims as at 31 March 2022 from management and reviewed their assessment of the likelihood of outflow of economic resources being probable, possible or remote in respect of the litigations and recoverability of balances with government authorities. This involved assessing the probability of an unfavourable outcome of a given proceeding and testing the computation of amounts involved, through inspection of underlying documents and communications with the tax authorities.

• Evaluated assessment of the management with respect to long standing balances with authorities which have been considered good and recoverable as at 31 March 2022.

• Engaged auditor''s experts, who obtained an understanding of the management''s assessment of the recoverability, conducted discussions with the management, and considered relevant tax laws and available precedents to validate the conclusions made by the management.

• Assessed and evaluated the adequacy and appropriateness of the disclosures made by the management in the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’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.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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. 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 and Those Charged with Governance 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. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial 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 Board of Directors'' 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)

1. In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of Ador Welding Limited (‘the Company’) as at and for the year ended 31 March 2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (‘IFCoFR’) of the Company as at that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

2. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 the Company’s business, including adherence to the 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

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’) and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (‘the Guidance Note’) 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 IFCoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR includes obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, 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 auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s IFCoFR.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

6. A company’s IFCoFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s IFCoFR include 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 authorisations of Management and Directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over

Financial Reporting

7. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, 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 IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that the IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting and such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
