Basis for Opinion
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
"Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial
Statementsâ 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 Standalone
Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act 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.
4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, 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 standalone financial
statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
5. The Company''s Board of Directors is 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 and
take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws
and regulations.
6. The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in Section 134(5) of 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, changes in equity 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 Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
7. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Board of
Directors 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 Board of Directors 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.
8. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Standalone 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 Standalone
Financial Statements.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism
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 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 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 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 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.
13. The Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the
year ended March 31, 2024, were audited by another firm of
Chartered Accountants under the Act who, vide their report
dated May 24, 2024, expressed an unmodified opinion on those
Standalone Financial Statements.
14. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020
("the Orderâ), issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the Act, we give
in the "Annexure Bâ, a statement on the matters specified in

We have audited the standalone financial statements of DOMS Industries Limited (formerly known as ''DOMS Industries Private Limited'') (the "Companyâ) which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2024, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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 Companies Act,
2013 ("Actâ) 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 31 March 2024, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
See Note 2(d) and 45 to standalone financial statements
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.

The key audit matter |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
The Company recognises revenue from the sale of products on satisfaction of performance obligation which is at a point in time when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of goods. We have identified revenue recognition on sale of products during the year and at the period end as a key audit matter as revenue is a key performance indicator. This may create an incentive to overstate or recognise revenue before transfer of control of goods to achieve performance targets as well as meet external expectations. |
Our audit procedures included the following: 1. Assessed the Company''s revenue recognition policies are consistent with the applicable accounting standards. 2. Tested the design and implementation and the operating effectiveness of the relevant key internal controls in relation to revenue recognition, contracts with customers, proof of delivery and customer acceptance, invoicing and collection from customers. 3. On a statistical sample basis, tested the revenue transactions recorded during the year with the underlying documents such as sales invoices/ contracts, dispatch/shipping documents and proof of delivery. 4. On the basis of lead time analysis, performed specific item testing for revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year-end, to determine that revenue is recognised in the financial period in which control is transferred, from the underlying documents such as sales invoices/contracts, dispatch/shipping documents and proof of delivery. 5. Compared historical trend of revenue recognised to identify any unusual trends. 6. Assessed manual journals posted to revenue to identify unusual or irregular items. 7. Assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the standalone financial statements made in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. |
The Company''s Management and 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 financial statements and auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.

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 and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone 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) specified under Section 133 of the Act.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act 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 on the standalone financial statements.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's directors' report, but does not include the financial statements and auditorâs 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.

If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done, 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.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit and other comprehensive loss, 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) specified under Section 133 of the Act.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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 intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 standalone 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 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 the Management and Board of Directors.
⢠   Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs 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 auditor s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going

⢠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.
