Capitalisation of Intangible Assets under Development
As disclosed in Note No.11.1 to the financial statements, the Company is in-house developing certain Solution based Software products. The carrying amount of intangible assets under development as at 31 March 2025 is ? 41.61 lakhs.
The determination of whether costs incurred meet the recognition criteria for capitalisation AS 26 "Intangible Assets” involves significant judgement, particularly in assessing:
The technical feasibility and intention to complete the projects.
The expected future economic benefits of the products under development
The allocation of costs between research (expensed) and development (capitalised) phases.
Given the materiality of the balance and the degree of judgement involved, this area was considered a key audit matter.
|
Our audit procedures included, among others:
Evaluating the design and implementation of controls over the identification and capitalisation of development costs.
Assessing management's evaluation of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of projects through discussions with project teams and review of supporting documentation.
On a sample basis, testing the costs capitalised by agreeing to underlying records such as employee time allocations, payroll data, and supplier invoices, and assessing whether these costs met the recognition criteria under AS 26.
Considering the appropriateness of management's assessment of potential impairment indicators.
Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition from Sale of Software Licences, Implementation, and Support Services
As disclosed in Note No.20 to the financial statements, the Company earns revenue from the sale of software licences, implementation services, and post-implementation support and maintenance. Revenue from these arrangements may involve single or multiple performance obligations, and the timing of revenue recognition depends on the terms of the customer contracts.
The determination of whether revenue is recognised at a point in time (for software licences) or over time (for implementation and support services) requires significant judgement, including:
Identifying distinct performance obligations within a contract.
Determining the appropriate allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation.
Assessing the satisfaction of performance obligations over time versus at a point in time.
Estimating the stage of completion for implementation services.
Given the materiality of revenue to the financial statements and the level of judgement involved, this area was considered a key audit matter.
|
Our audit procedures included, among others:
Obtaining an understanding of the Company's revenue recognition policies and assessing their compliance with the principles of AS 9 Revenue Recognition.
Testing, on a sample basis, customer contracts and related documents to evaluate the timing of revenue recognition for:
Sale of software licences - ensuring revenue was recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership were transferred to the customer and no significant uncertainty existed regarding collection.
Implementation services - verifying that revenue was recognised in proportion to the degree of completion of the work, based on project milestones and evidence of services rendered.
Support and maintenance services - ensuring revenue was recognised on a straight-line basis over the service period, unless another systematic basis was more representative.
Comparing revenue recognised during the year with supporting evidence such as invoices, project sign off document, and timesheets.
Performing cut-off testing around the year-end to verify that transactions were recorded in the correct accounting period.
Assessing whether disclosures in the financial statements appropriately describe the Company's revenue recognition policies in accordance with AS 9.

We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Information Other than the Standalone financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for 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 standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Responsibility of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) 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 financial statements, Board of Directors 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.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities 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 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.
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 Ind AS 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 internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone 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 standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 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.
