Key Audit Matters
4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significant in our audit of Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
|
How the matter was addressed in our Audit
|
a) Revenue recognition
|
The Company follows the revenue recognition policy in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). Revenue is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and can be reliably measured. The policy outlines the key criteria and methods used for recognizing revenue from the sale of goods, rendering of services, and other sources.
Revenue recognition for sale of products in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ('Ind AS 115'), for the Company involves certain key judgements, such as, identification of performance obligations in a contract, determination of transaction price including variable consideration in the form of rebates, discounts under various promotional schemes offered by the Company, and assessment of satisfaction of the performance obligations represented by the transfer of control of the products sold to the customers.
Owing to the significance of amount, company's products and revenue streams, volume of transactions during the year requires significant auditor attention and industry knowledge, and accordingly, revenue recognition is considered as a key audit matter in the current year audit.
The Company provides various sale incentives in form of discounts and rebates. Discounts given include
|
Our audit procedures relating to revenue recognition included, but were not limited to, the following procedures:
• Understanding the appropriateness of the Company's accounting policy for revenue recognition and the process followed by the company to determine the amount of discounts, incentives and rebates including determination of transaction price and satisfaction of performance obligations.
• Evaluating the design and implementation and testing operating effectiveness of Company's general controls, key manual and application control over the company's IT systems including controls over discounts, scheme related payments and offers provided along-with rebate payments / settlements and company's review over the rebate accruals.
• Performing substantive testing by selecting samples of discounts and rebates transactions recorded during the year as well as period end discounts and rebates accruals and matching the parameters used in the computation with the relevant source documents.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors' report thereon.
5. The Company's board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board's report, Management Discussion and Analy sis and other 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.
6. 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.
7. If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is no material misstatement of this other information. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
8. The Company's 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 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.
9. In preparing the 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.
10. The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for the audit of financial statements
11. 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 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 financial statements.
12. 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 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.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of the company to express an opinion on the financial statements.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.
