We have audited standalone financial statements of Zodiac Ventures Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2025 and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended and notes to the
standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant 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 ("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 the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March,
2025, and its profit/loss including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
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 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 there under, 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.
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 standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report
including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s
Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 during the course of our 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.
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 standalone 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 principles generally accepted in India, including the 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 financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone 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 going
concern basis of accounting unless management 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 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.
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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for
expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system 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.
⢠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.
⢠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.
As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 (âthe Orderâ), issued by the Central Government of
India in terms of Sub-Section (11) of Section 143 of the Companies Act 2013, we give in the Annexure A statement

(iii) Based on audit procedures which we considered reasonable and appropriate in the
circumstances, nothing has come to their notice that has caused them to believe that the
representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) contain any material mis-statement.
(v) The final dividend proposed for the previous year (FY 2023-24), declared and paid by the Company

Basis for Opinion
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 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 Ind AS financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIâs 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 Ind AS financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Except for the matters described in the Basis for qualified opinion paragraph and emphasis of the matter, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw your attention that Zodiac Developers Pvt. Ltd (ZDPL), which was the subsidiary of the company last year and now having controlling interest in the associate company, is engaged in real estate business. There are several litigations involved in the Hanuman Nagar Project of the said associate Company. There is a dispute with the Joint Developer in the Project. During 2020-21, the arbitration award dated 15th October 2020 has been received for the Hanuman Nagar Project. But the Associate Company has an order from the SRA which contradicts the arbitration award and definitely has more weightage in relative terms. An application under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 has been filed in the Bombay High Court and the Associate Company is confident of winning the same. In the said application, the Company has obtained a stay order from the Bombay High Court against the execution of the said arbitration award. Accordingly, management is of the opinion that the amount incurred on the project stands good and recoverable along with sizable profits. The construction activity has again resumed for Sale Building No. 7. Further, Companyâs flagship said Sale Building No. 7 has now been christened as 45-Juhu Residency and the Company has received part Occupation Certificate up to the 9th habitable floor. Accordingly, the company visualizes sales proceeds, recovery of balance payments on flats sold and also new sales to occur which will improve the Cash Flow.
We draw your attention and state that Zodiac Developers Pvt. Ltd (ZDPL), an Associate company is having a Commercial dispute with Mr. Abhishek Jhaveri and two ors for refund of Rs. 2,90,00,000/- towards the advance payments given against purchase of Residential Flat in Hanuman Nagar Project and has received prohibitory Order from Bombay High Court,
Protho Notary for recovery of Rs. 2.90 Crs. And accordingly, the consent terms were filed by both the parties. However, the party has filed the Contempt petition before the Bombay High Court and got the Order of attachment of two bank accounts of ZDPL, an Associate Company. The Company has opposed the same and is in the process of reaching a settlement and paying the balance amount due and has also sought the Court''s permission to release the attachment on Bank Accounts.
We draw your attention and state that Zodiac Developers Pvt. Ltd (ZDPL), an Associate company, had advanced a sum of Rs. 8,75,00,000/- to Akshar Group in the F.Y. 2017-18. The Associate Company was informed by Akshar Group that they intend to forfeit the entire amount of Rs. 8.75,00,000/- citing breach of contract and default in our obligations to them. The dispute had arisen and there is no improvement in the situation. The Associate Company intends to pursue legal recourse to recover this amount and is confident that the same will be recovered but, the case is yet to be filed. The matter is vexed and the Associate Company is playing a balancing act to safeguard its interest.
Effects of COVID-19
We draw further attention on the uncertainties and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Companyâs operations and financial statements as assessed by the Management. The actual impact may differ from such estimates depending on future developments. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), and cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the 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 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 Ind AS financial statements, Management is 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 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 financial reporting process of the Company.
Information other than the financial statements and auditorsâ report thereon
The Companyâs Management and board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Boardâs Report including Annexure to Boardâs Report, Business Responsibility Report but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/audit report of other auditors, 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.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. 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 controls.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Management and Board of Directors.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and the 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 ability of the Company 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 Ind AS 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.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

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 resentationn 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 Ind AS 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 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company. Information other than the financial statements and auditorsâ report thereon
The Company''s Management and board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board''s Report including Annexure to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/audit report of other auditors, 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.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Sas, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. 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 controls.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Management and Board of Directors.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and the 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 ability of the Company 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 Ind AS 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.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Ind AS 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
1. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2020 (âthe Orderâ) issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in the â Annexure Aâ, a statement on the matters specified in the paragraph 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.
2. As required by Section 143 (3) of the Act, we report that:-
a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

f) On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on 31st March, 2023 taken on record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on 31st March, 2023 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 164 (2) of the Act.
g) With respect to adequacy of internal financial control over financial reporting of the company with reference to standalone financial statements of the Company and the operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate report in âAnnexure Bâ.
h) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditor''s Report in accordance with Rule 11 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us:
(i) The Company does not have any pending litigations which would impact its financial position.
(ii) According to information and explanation given to us, the Company did not have any long-term contracts including derivatives contracts for which there were any material foreseeable losses.

(b) The Management has represented, that, and to the best of its knowledge and belief, no funds (which are material either individually or in the aggregate) have been received by the Company from any person or entity, including foreign entity (âFunding Partiesâ), with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Company shall, whether, directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party (âUltimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;
I Based on the audit procedures that have been considered reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the representations under sub-clause (i) and (ii) of Rule 11I, as provided under (a) and (b) above, contain any material misstatement.
(v) The company has not declared or paid any dividend during the year in contravention of the provisions of section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013.

ANNEXURE B TO AUDITORS''S REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Zodiac Ventures Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone 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 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 (''ICAI''). 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 Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors'' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 judgment, 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 Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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 internal financial control over financial reporting 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 company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting 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 over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 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 ICAI.
