Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the financial statements 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 Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 made thereunder, 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 Financial Statements.
Key Audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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.
Description of key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition (refer notes 1 -B-26 and 23 to the Financial Statements)
Revenue is measured net of volume discounts, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any.
Due to the Companyâs presence across different marketing regions within the country and the
competitive business environment, the estimation of the various types of discounts, rebates and
incentives to be recognized based on sales made during the year is material and considered to be
judgmental.
Therefore, there is a risk of revenue being misstated as a result of error in estimations of discounts,
incentives and rebates.
Revenue is recognized when the control of the underlying products has been transferred to the
customer. There is a risk of revenue being overstated due to fraud resulting from the pressure on
management to achieve performance targets at the reporting period end.
How the matters was addressed in our audit procedure included:
⢠Assessing the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policies, including
those relating to discounts, rebates and incentives.
⢠Comparing the historical discounts, rebates and incentives. We also considered the
historical accuracy of the Companyâs estimates in previous year(s).
⢠Checking of completeness and accuracy of the data used by the management for the
purpose of calculation of the provision discounts, rebates and incentives and for sales
returns and checking of its arithmetical accuracy.
⢠Comparison between the estimates in the past with subsequent actuals and analysis of the
nature of any deviations to corroborate the effectiveness of the management estimation
process.
⢠Considered the adequacy of the Companyâs disclosures in respect of revenue.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditorsâ Report Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Boardâs Report
including Annexures to Boardâs Report and Corporate Governance and Shareholderâs information,
but does not include financial statements, and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
expressary from of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the 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.
Responsibility of Management for Financial Statements
The Companyâs 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 the se financial statements
that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, change in equity 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 implementation and maintenance of accounting policies;
making judgements 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 preparations
and presentations 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 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 management 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 t he companyâs financial reporting
process.
Auditorâs Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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
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 financial statements,
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement 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
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 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 Companyâs ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs r eport. 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes 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 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 standalone 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 overweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
