Key Audit Matter
Auditor's Response
1
Revenue from Sale of goods (Refernote 2.1(f) of the Standalone FinancialStatements)
The Company recognises revenue from saleof goods based on the terms and conditionsof the agreements/arrangements, whichvary with different customers.
For sale transactions in a certain periodaround the Balance Sheet date, it is essentialto ensure whether the transfer of control ofthe goods by the Company to the customeroccurs before the Balance Sheet date.
Considering material sale transactions closeto the year end and that revenue recognitionis subject to transfer of control to thecustomers before the Balance Sheet date,we consider the risk of revenue from saleof goods being recognised in the incorrectperiod as a key audit matter.
We have performed the following principal audit procedures in relation
to revenue recognised which include a combination of testing internal
controls and substantive testing as under:
• Assessed the appropriateness of the Company's revenue recognitionaccounting policies in line with Ind AS 115 (“Revenue from Contractswith Customers").
• Evaluated the integrity of the general information and technology ('IT')control environment and testing the operating effectiveness of key ITapplication controls.
• Understood the revenue recognition process, evaluating the designand implementation of Company's controls in respect of revenue cut¬off at year-end.
• Tested the operating effectiveness of such controls over revenue cutoff at year-end.
• Tested the supporting documentation for sales transactions recordedduring the period closer to the year end and subsequent to the yearend, including examination of credit notes issued after the year endto determine whether revenue was recognised in the correct periodupon fulfillment of the performance obligations.
•
Performed analytical procedures on current year revenue based onmonthly trends and where appropriate, conducting further enquiriesand testing.

We believe that the auditevidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalonefinancial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period.These matters were addressed in the context of our auditof the standalone financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters. We have determinedthe matters described below to be the key audit matters tobe communicated in our report.

• The Company's Board of Directors is responsiblefor the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Directors'report, Management Discussion & Analysis, Report onCorporate Governance and the Business Responsibility& Sustainability Report but, does not include theconsolidated financial statements, standalone financialstatements and our auditor's report thereon.
• Our opinion on the standalone financial statementsdoes not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
• In connection with our audit of the standalonefinancial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whetherthe other information is materially inconsistent withthe standalone financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
• If, based on the work we have performed, we concludethat there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. Wehave nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Board ofDirectors for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these standalone financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance including other comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordancewith the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements,management and Board of Directors are responsible forassessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the standalone financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. UnderSection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls with referenceto standalone financial statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management'suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thestandalone financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisionsof a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalonefinancial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the resultsof our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal financial controls thatwe identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
