INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of M/s (Name of Company)
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
I have audited the financial statements of M/s (Name of Company), (“the Company”) incorporated
on ___________ which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023, and the Statement
of Profit and Loss for the period then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In my opinion and to the best of my information
and according to the explanations given to me, the aforesaid 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, of the state of affairs of
the Company as at 31 March 2023, and profit for the period ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. My
responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report.
I am independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and I have fulfilled my
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
Code of Ethics. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Other Information
The Company’s management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Director’s report but does not include the financial
statements and my auditors’ report thereon.
My opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information and I do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the financial
statements, my responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements, or my knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that
fact. I have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management for Financial
Statements
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs, profit/loss 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 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 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 financial statements, management and
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 management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements
My 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 my 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, I exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I
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 my 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, but not for the
purpose for expressing my 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 I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw
attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my 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.
I 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 I identify during my audit.
